Despite their disagreement, Powell assured there were no further expected overruns and said the Fed had reserves if needed. When asked what he would do in such a situation, Trump said he would usually fire the project manager. However, he clarified he would not fire Powell, despite having criticized him before and calling him a “numbskull” earlier that week. Trump acknowledged that firing Powell would be a major step and said it wasn’t necessary. The visit came shortly before a Fed meeting expected to keep interest rates steady.

Trump Claims U.S. Airstrikes Crippled Iran’s Nuclear Sites Amid Conflicting Intelligence Reports

U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that American airstrikes in June completely destroyed three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. While the Pentagon backed this assertion, intelligence leaks suggest only Fordow was heavily damaged, with Natanz and Isfahan largely intact. The Defence Intelligence Agency expressed low confidence in the long-term impact, saying the strikes may have delayed Iran’s programme by a few months. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reaffirmed Tehran’s right to peaceful nuclear development. Amid regional tensions and stalled U.S.–Iran diplomacy, Iran suspended cooperation with the IAEA, raising concerns over transparency and the fate of future negotiations.

Syria: Forces Surround Sweida, Stop Bedouin Tribesmen From Entering Al-Mazra'a | N18G

Calm returned to the Syrian city of Sweida on Sunday after days of violent clashes between Druze and Bedouin fighters. Internal security forces blocked armed Bedouins from entering Al-Mazra'a village, as a tribesman demanded Druze fighters surrender arms and hand over casualties by 1 p.m. The fighting began last week, prompting Damascus to deploy troops, who were later accused of abuses against Druze communities and targeted by Israeli strikes. A Wednesday truce led to their withdrawal. However, a new ceasefire announced Saturday by the Syrian presidency collapsed quickly, exposing the difficulties interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa faces in stabilising the nation.

‘I’m afraid of losing the baby’ - Pregnant Gaza mother battles war and hunger | N18G

Amid the ongoing war in Gaza, 34-year-old Fatima Arfa, who is six months pregnant and anaemic due to severe malnutrition, fears for her unborn child’s life. Forced to flee her home in northern Gaza, she now lives in a makeshift tent with her husband and five children, facing harsh heat and limited access to healthcare. Doctors say she urgently needs a blood transfusion to survive the pregnancy. According to the UN, 55,000 pregnant women in Gaza are now at risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, and undernourished newborns due to extreme food shortages. Malnutrition is widespread, with nearly 17,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women expected to require urgent care. Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade in May 2025, but supplies remain scarce, further straining humanitarian efforts. The Gaza conflict, now nearing its second year, has displaced nearly the entire population and left millions facing hunger and fear.

Tariffs, Ties and Tensions: Can India Navigate the US-Russia Power Play?

India cannot ignore the U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat of secondary tariffs over its oil trade with Russia, but experts argue it may be more political posturing than serious policy. Trump’s record of shifting positions and his ongoing trade talks with China suggest limited room for drastic moves. For India, caving to U.S. pressure could hurt its energy security, raise oil prices, and strain strategic ties with Russia. Experts warn such pressure undermines trust and risks damaging broader trade talks. Ultimately, it could backfire, pushing BRICS nations closer together and weakening Western influence, as India balances autonomy with global geopolitical realities.

India Rebuked WSJ for ‘Unfortunate’ Claim on Air India Crash

Trump Calls Epstein Case Pretty Boring' As MAGA Base Erupts Over Memo

President Donald Trump dismissed renewed interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case as “pretty boring stuff,” expressing confusion over why his supporters remain focused on it. Speaking in Pennsylvania, Trump referenced a recent DOJ and FBI memo confirming Epstein died by suicide and that no client list exists. Despite this, many in the MAGA movement remain skeptical, fueling conspiracy theories and demanding transparency. Anger has also been directed at Attorney General Pam Bondi, who previously suggested a client list was under review but later clarified her remarks. Trump defended Bondi but said she should release credible information. Tensions rose further after Elon Musk alleged Trump’s name appeared in unreleased Epstein files—an accusation he later deleted. Epstein, who had ties to powerful elites including Trump, Clinton, and Prince Andrew, was accused of trafficking underage girls. His death in 2019 continues to spark speculation, with many believing he was silenced to protect influential figures.

Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin, claiming he had nearly secured a deal multiple times. He confirmed a massive U.S. arms package for Ukraine, including Patriot systems, worth billions. Rutte said Ukraine would receive large quantities of air defence weapons and ammunition.

Speaking during a press conference, Trump stated that the United States would deliver advanced weaponry, including Patriot missile systems, through NATO coordination channels. He also noted that some of the financial burden may be shared by European countries. The announcement triggered a sharp response from the Kremlin. Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused the U.S. of continuously fueling the conflict and warned that the ongoing delivery of arms risks further destabilising the region. Peskov emphasized that U.S. weapons have been flowing into Ukraine since the beginning of the war and are continuing now. Russia also reiterated that it is ready for another round of peace talks with Ukraine but claimed that Kyiv has yet to propose a date. Peskov said, “It is obvious that Kyiv is in no hurry.”

Oil Prices Edge Higher Amid Trump Statement On Russia, Sanctions Loom Large N|18G

Oil prices edged higher on Monday, July 14, extending Friday’s gains of over 2%, as markets reacted to the prospect of new U.S. and EU sanctions on Russia. Brent crude rose 15 cents to \$70.51 per barrel, while U.S. WTI climbed 14 cents to \$68.59. Investors are eyeing potential disruptions to global supply, especially after President Trump announced plans to send Patriot missile systems to Ukraine and prepare a major statement on Russia. A bipartisan U.S. sanctions bill targeting Russia is gaining traction in Congress, aiming to pressure Moscow into peace negotiations. Meanwhile, the EU is nearing agreement on its 18th sanctions package, which may include a lower price cap on Russian oil. However, price gains remain modest, capped by Saudi Arabia’s increased oil output and lingering uncertainty over global trade tariffs. The market is now closely watching geopolitical developments for signs of further volatility in energy prices.

In addition to Mexico and the EU, Trump sent tariff warning letters to over 20 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Brazil, threatening duties ranging from 20% to 50% unless new trade agreements are reached. Trump emphasized that companies from these regions could avoid tariffs by relocating manufacturing to the U.S., promising expedited approvals.

Epstein Files: Kash Patel Set To Resign? Trump Faces A Volatile Internal Crisis | N18G

The Trump administration is facing a major internal crisis as FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino nears resignation over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files. A July 7 DOJ memo debunked Bondi’s claims of a “client list” and blackmail evidence, confirming Epstein died by suicide. This contradicted months of Bondi’s public promises and has enraged MAGA loyalists. Tensions exploded during a heated White House meeting on July 9, after which Bongino took leave and is expected to resign. FBI Director Kash Patel may also step down, frustrated by Bondi’s damage to the Bureau’s credibility. Bondi, once a MAGA favorite, is now isolated as conservative influencers accuse her of betrayal. Trump, while publicly supporting her, is privately distancing himself from the fallout. The situation reveals deeper fractures within the administration’s law enforcement leadership, signaling a potential collapse of trust and unity at the top as the Epstein controversy reignites.

The floods, which struck in the early hours of Independence Day, swept through a region known as “flash flood alley.” No new survivors have been found since the initial rescue operations, as search teams continue combing through the debris.

Trump Slams Brazil With 50% Tariff, Trade War Or Political Payback? Explained | N18G

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, set to begin August 1, accusing Brazil of unfair trade practices and criticizing the criminal trial of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro. In response, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva warned that Brazil will invoke its new Economic Reciprocity Law if no negotiations occur. Signed in April 2025, the law empowers Brazil to impose retaliatory trade, investment, and intellectual property restrictions against nations that take harmful unilateral actions. Lula emphasized that Brazil is a sovereign nation that demands respect and will defend its economy and institutions. He condemned Trump’s online threats, calling them irresponsible and outdated. This escalating conflict signals a potential U.S.-Brazil tariff war, with broader implications for global trade and diplomacy. Both leaders remain defiant, raising concerns about how personal political agendas may shape international economic policies in the months ahead. The world now watches the countdown to August 1.

Protesters Clash With Authorities During Federal ICE Raids On California Farms N|18G

On July 10, federal agents conducted immigration enforcement raids on two state-licensed marijuana nurseries operated by Glass House Farms in Carpinteria and Camarillo, Southern California. The raids, led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and backed by National Guard troops, resulted in the reported detention of about 100 farmworkers. As footage spread on social media, migrant-rights activists quickly mobilized, confronting agents on rural roads in tense standoffs. Tear gas was reportedly used during the protests. Glass House Farms confirmed compliance with search warrants and noted previous ICE visits in June. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the execution of a warrant but provided limited details. The raids reflect ongoing uncertainty in federal immigration policy, with the Trump administration repeatedly shifting its stance on deporting undocumented farmworkers. With an estimated half of U.S. farmworkers lacking legal status, agricultural leaders warn that continued enforcement could severely disrupt the nation’s food supply chain.

Pema Khandu Warns of ‘Water Bomb’ as China Builds World’s Largest Dam Near Arunachal Border

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has raised serious concerns over China’s construction of the Yarlung Tsangpo mega dam near the Indian border, calling it a “ticking water bomb” and a greater threat than military confrontation. He asserted that Arunachal shares a 1,200-km border with Tibet, not China, which forcibly occupied Tibet in 1950. The $137 billion project, approved in 2024, is set to become the world’s largest hydropower dam. Khandu criticised China for not signing the international water treaty and warned that unregulated water release could lead to flooding in Arunachal, as the river flows in from a Himalayan gorge.
