President Donald Trump has approved new defensive weapons for Ukraine, even as questions remain over a recent Pentagon decision to pause shipments. When asked who authorized the pause, Trump deflected, saying, “I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?” The move comes alongside some of Trump’s sharpest public criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin since returning to office. In this report, we examine Trump’s changing stance on Russia, the implications of his comments, the proposed bipartisan sanctions bill in Congress, and how Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is responding as Kyiv seeks urgent military support.

On July 4, President Donald Trump signed into law a major tax and spending bill following a narrow 218–214 vote in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. The legislation, a key victory for Trump in his second term, makes his 2017 tax cuts permanent, funds his immigration crackdown, and is projected to strip millions of Americans of health insurance. The bill's passage was celebrated with a patriotic White House ceremony featuring a military flyover. Despite concerns about its estimated $3.3 trillion addition to the national debt, only two House Republicans joined all Democrats in opposing it. Supporters claim the bill will boost economic growth, while critics argue it benefits the wealthy and harms low-income Americans by cutting healthcare and food aid programs. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries spoke for a record 8 hours and 46 minutes against the bill, calling it unjust and damaging. The legislation reflects deep partisan divides over fiscal and social policy.

President Trump’s 90-day pause on global reciprocal tariffs is set to expire on July 9, and he has no plans to extend it. Instead, he intends to notify each country individually about the tariffs they will face to do business with the U.S., sending letters to various countries specifying their rates. Trump recently announced a trade deal with Vietnam, allowing U.S. goods to enter duty-free, while Vietnamese exports to the U.S. will face a 20% tariff. This follows an earlier 46% tax on Vietnamese imports as part of broader reciprocal tariffs aimed at countries with trade deficits with the U.S. Despite the tariff suspension intended to enable negotiations, only the UK has reached a trade agreement so far. Trump also urged Iran to resume talks with special envoy Steve Witkoff and offered to meet personally if necessary. Iran, however, suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency after U.S. airstrikes. Trump emphasized the goal is to help Iran become “a country again” and expressed concern for safety in Gaza.

The battle between Donald Trump and Elon Musk just got serious. After Musk slammed Trump’s massive tax-and-spending bill, the US President suggested he might deport the billionaire tech mogul. But can Elon Musk — a naturalized US citizen — actually be stripped of his citizenship and deported?

Billionaire Elon Musk has lashed out at President Trump’s proposed spending bill, calling it “insane” and vowing to form a new “America Party” if it passes.

The controversial bill narrowly advanced in the Senate and could be signed into law before July 4.

The United States has launched a historic airstrike on Iran, deploying its most powerful non-nuclear weapon — the GBU-57 bunker buster bomb — against Iran’s deeply buried nuclear sites at Natanz and Fordow. This unprecedented move has triggered swift and sharp reactions from around the world. Iran has vowed to retaliate, with top IRGC commanders declaring their readiness for any scenario. U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in, suggesting that regime change in Iran might be necessary. Russia condemned the attack, warning that the U.S. has “opened a Pandora’s box,” while the EU urged restraint and a return to negotiations. Meanwhile, Israel claimed it is close to achieving its objectives in Iran, and Pakistan voiced support for Tehran’s right to a peaceful nuclear program. The strikes have also rattled global oil markets, pushing crude prices higher amid fears of wider regional instability. Watch the full report to Know more!

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass imposed a curfew in a 1-square-mile area of downtown following days of intense protests against ICE raids. The demonstrations led to clashes between protesters and law enforcement, with reports of vandalism and some looting, particularly during late-night and early-morning hours. The curfew began at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10, and will remain in effect until 6 a.m. on Wednesday, June 11. City officials aim to restore order and ensure public safety amid growing unrest. The protests were sparked by opposition to recent immigration enforcement actions and have drawn large crowds across the city.

The longstanding tensions between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk escalated into a public feud over Trump’s economic bill and clean energy incentives. Musk criticized the legislation, calling it an “abomination,” prompting Trump to express disappointment and claim Musk had previously supported the bill. Musk responded by asserting that his backing was crucial to Trump’s 2024 election victory and warned Democrats would have controlled the House without him. Trump retaliated by stating he asked Musk to leave and revoked Musk’s EV mandate, accusing him of “going crazy.” Musk then announced SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft following threats to cancel government contracts. The spat intensified when Musk alleged Trump’s involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein files, hinting at a major scandal. Trump defended the bill as historic and criticized Musk’s delayed opposition. Musk further predicted Trump’s tariffs would cause a recession and supported Trump’s impeachment. The dispute highlights a sharp breakdown in their previously cooperative relationship.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei firmly rejected a U.S. demand to halt uranium enrichment, calling it against Iran’s interests. The U.S. presented a new nuclear deal proposal via Oman after five rounds of talks, but key issues remain unresolved, including Iran’s insistence on continuing enrichment on its soil and refusal to export its stockpile of highly enriched uranium. Tehran maintains its nuclear programme is peaceful. The proposal is expected to be rejected as it does not meet Iran’s conditions. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has intensified sanctions and threatened military action, while Israel continues to warn of strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites.

Elon Musk has publicly clashed with President Donald Trump over a controversial Congressional spending bill, marking his first open disagreement since leaving his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk criticized the bill on X, labeling it as “outrageous” and warning it would raise the budget deficit to $2.5 trillion, potentially bankrupting the country. Despite Musk’s sharp remarks, the White House dismissed the criticism, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that Musk's views would not influence the president. Trump continues to endorse the bill, calling it “unbelievable” and claiming it cuts deficits. Fiscal conservatives and analysts warn it could increase the deficit by up to $4 trillion over ten years. Meanwhile, the White House Council of Economic Advisers projects optimistic growth of 5.2% and cites $1.6 trillion in spending cuts. Musk, though present at a recent press conference, remained silent, signaling his deep disagreement.

President Donald Trump’s administration has escalated its crackdown on Harvard University, targeting foreign students and the university’s funding. Trump demanded Harvard reduce foreign student enrollment and provide their names, claiming no foreign government funds the school and threatening to reconsider U.S. grants. Last week, the administration revoked Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students, a move temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has vowed to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, signing executive orders against them and launching a multiagency Task Force to combat campus anti-Semitism. Harvard, among dozens of universities under investigation for alleged civil rights violations related to anti-Semitic harassment, faces reviews of its federal contracts and grants totaling billions. The administration has threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status, halted new federal research funding, and initiated legal battles, with Harvard suing the government over these actions. The ongoing conflict highlights a broader effort to challenge elite universities’ policies and funding under Trump’s leadership.

On May 19, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for holding Russia-Ukraine ceasefire talks at the Vatican, emphasizing its symbolic significance. During a White House event, he recounted a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he asked, "When are we going to end this, Vladimir?" Trump acknowledged the significant financial commitments by the U.S. to Ukraine due to the Biden administration's support and expressed confidence that both Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky are inclined towards a resolution. While Trump announced that ceasefire talks would begin immediately, no major concessions were made during his call with Putin. European leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, welcomed the possibility of Vatican-mediated talks. However, the Vatican did not confirm any official offer. Italy expressed readiness to facilitate negotiations aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace, with Pope Leo XIV suggesting the Vatican could mediate global conflicts.

President Donald Trump expressed surprise that the public had not been informed earlier about Joe Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. Biden revealed on May 18 that he has prostate cancer which has metastasized to his bones, and he is currently reviewing treatment options with his family. The announcement has sparked renewed concerns about Biden’s health and transparency during his presidency. Vice President JD Vance criticized Biden for withholding critical health information from the public. At 82, Biden’s age and medical condition are drawing intense scrutiny, especially in light of a new book that details concerns among Democratic insiders and aides about his mental acuity during his 2024 re-election campaign. Biden’s office stated the diagnosis was made just days earlier, on Friday. Medical experts informed that such cancers are usually detected before reaching an advanced stage, raising additional questions about the timeliness of both the diagnosis and the public disclosure.
