White House Official Links Ukraine War To Modi Amid Tariffs

August 28, 2025 10:53 am

A senior White House trade adviser has touched off a diplomatic storm by describing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as “Modi’s war,” sharply criticizing India’s continued purchase of discounted Russian oil.

Peter Navarro, the U.S. trade adviser, made the remark in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Wednesday, just hours after sweeping U.S. tariffs on Indian goods—some as high as 50 percent—took effect. The duties include a 25 percent penalty linked directly to India’s imports of Russian oil and weapons, which Washington argues bankroll Moscow’s war machine.

“Everybody in America loses because of what India is doing,” Navarro said. “Taxpayers lose …

Trent Faces Race For Real Madrid Start, City On Alert

August 27, 2025 8:05 pm

Real Madrid right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is under mounting pressure—and could soon find himself on the bench. The 26-year-old’s early outings have drawn sharp criticism, raising fresh doubts about his fit in Xabi Alonso’s setup. Meanwhile, Manchester City are quietly monitoring his situation.

In his La Liga debut, Alexander-Arnold was substituted after just 68 minutes in a 1–0 win over Osasuna. His performance was described as “not up to Real Madrid’s level” by AS editor Tomás Roncero, who highlighted a lack of intensity and adaptability. He warned that once Dani Carvajal is fully match-ready, Trent may struggle to hold onto his …

Tens of thousands of people living with HIV may soon swap their daily regimen of pills for a single tablet taken once a month.
