Trump announces new weapons for Ukraine, threatens tariffs on Russia

Al JazeeraMonday, July 14, 2025 at 7:44:24 PM
NeutralWorld AffairsU.S.-Russia relations
President Trump is sending a fresh batch of weapons to Ukraine while also warning Russia with potential new tariffs—a one-two punch that signals tougher U.S. action on both military and economic fronts.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about arming Ukraine—it’s a strategic move that tightens pressure on Russia while keeping tensions high. The weapons show support for Kyiv, but the tariff threat adds an economic twist, hinting at broader friction between Washington and Moscow. For Ukraine, it’s a boost; for Russia, another headache. And for the rest of us, it’s a reminder that this geopolitical tug-of-war isn’t cooling down anytime soon.

Bongino back at FBI after threatening to quit over Epstein case as Trump again backs Bondi – live updates
NegativeWorld Affairs
FBI deputy director Dan Bongino is back at work after threatening to quit over the Epstein case, while Trump doubles down on praising Attorney General Bondi's handling of the matter—despite backlash from his MAGA base. Meanwhile, Trump took to Truth Social to accuse Democratic senator Adam Schiff of "possible mortgage fraud," escalating his ongoing feud with political rivals.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights the simmering tensions within the FBI and Trump's inner circle, as well as his continued combative stance toward critics. The Epstein case remains a lightning rod for controversy, and Trump's latest accusations against Schiff add fuel to the fire of partisan clashes. For readers, it’s another snapshot of the chaotic, high-stakes drama shaping U.S. politics right now.

Opinion | China’s Bad ‘Good’ Economic Quarter

Opinion | China’s Bad ‘Good’ Economic Quarter
NegativeWorld Affairs
This opinion piece argues that China's seemingly solid economic growth in the latest quarter might be misleading. While the numbers look good on paper, the reality is more complicated—deflation (falling prices) is making the growth appear stronger than it actually is. It's like a store bragging about selling more items while quietly slashing prices to make it happen.
Editor’s Note: If China's growth is being propped up by deflation rather than genuine demand, it could signal deeper economic troubles ahead—something that matters not just for China but for global markets, trade, and supply chains. Think of it as a "fake it till you make it" scenario, except the world economy might not be fooled for long.

Trump claims tariff deal with Indonesia

Trump claims tariff deal with Indonesia
NeutralWorld Affairs
Former President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. will dial back its planned tariffs on Indonesian goods, reducing them from a steep 32% to a more moderate 19%. The move suggests a partial easing of trade tensions, though details on the broader deal remain sparse.
Editor’s Note: Tariffs might sound like dry economic policy, but they directly impact prices, jobs, and global supply chains. This slight rollback could signal a thaw in U.S.-Indonesia trade relations—or just be a tactical pause in an ongoing negotiation. Either way, businesses in both countries will be watching closely to see if this sticks or if it’s just another twist in the volatile world of trade wars.

Tour de France’s phoney war gets dose of reality as Pogacar v Vingegaard hits the mountains | William Fotheringham
NeutralWorld Affairs
The Tour de France is heating up as the race hits the high mountains, shifting from tactical mind games to real competition. The big question: Has Jonas Vingegaard’s team been playing a sneaky game by letting Tadej Pogacar keep the yellow jersey early on? Meanwhile, Wout van Aert’s performance could be a game-changer for Vingegaard’s chances.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about who’s fastest—it’s about strategy, teamwork, and psychological warfare. The mountain stages will separate the contenders from the pretenders, and every move (or non-move) by the teams could decide the race. For cycling fans, it’s where the Tour truly comes alive.

Russia does not care about Trump’s theatrics, official says

Russia does not care about Trump’s theatrics, official says
NegativeWorld Affairs
A Russian official shrugged off President Trump’s latest tough talk, essentially saying Moscow isn’t fazed by his threats of sanctions or demands for a quick peace deal. The dismissive tone suggests Russia sees Trump’s moves as more political theater than a serious shift in U.S. policy.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just diplomatic sniping—it’s a sign that Russia may be calling Trump’s bluff. If Moscow isn’t taking his threats seriously, it could weaken U.S. leverage in future negotiations, whether on Ukraine, Syria, or other flashpoints. It also hints at how strained (or transactional) the relationship has become behind the scenes.
