Trump says withdrawing Musk ally as nominee to head NASA
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was withdrawing his nomination of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman, a close ally of Elon Musk, to lead space agency NASA. Trump said last December, before returning to office, that he wanted the online payments entrepreneur and the first private astronaut to conduct a spacewalk to serve as the next head of NASA. But on Saturday, he said on his Truth Social platform that 'after a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA.' 'I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space.' Earlier Saturday, the New York Times had reported the move was coming, quoting unnamed sources as saying the decision had come after the president learned Isaacman had donated money to prominent Democrats. Asked about that report, the White House had told AFP in an email that it was 'essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump's America First agenda.' 'The Administrator of NASA will help lead humanity into space and execute President Trump's bold mission of planting the American flag on the planet Mars,' it said. The nomination shakeup appears to be a snub of billionaire Musk, who on Friday stepped back from his role leading Trump's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk reportedly lobbied directly with the president for Isaacman, who has had significant business dealings with Musk's SpaceX, to get the top NASA job, raising questions of possible conflicts of interest. As the news surfaced, Musk stressed on X that 'it is rare to find someone so competent and good-arted'. Trump says Pakistani representatives coming to US next week for trade talks The 42-year-old founder and CEO of Shift4 Payments has emerged as a leading figure in commercial spaceflight through his high-profile collaborations with SpaceX. He made history last September by stepping out of a Crew Dragon to gaze at Earth from the void of space while gripping the spacecraft's exterior, during the first-ever spacewalk carried out by non-professional astronauts.

Lavrov criticises Western alliances
Pakistani Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed met Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow on Saturday, expressing gratitude for Russia's "positive neutrality" during the recent escalation between India and Pakistan. The 40-minute bilateral meeting took place ahead of a broader gathering at the Eurasian Forum, where leaders from China, Turkiye, South Korea, and Cambodia were also in attendance. Senator Mushahid, who was invited as the only Pakistani representative, delivered a keynote address at the forum, where he highlighted Pakistan's desire for regional peace and greater Eurasian cooperation. During the meeting, Senator Mushahid expressed appreciation for Russia's stance of "positive neutrality" during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. This neutrality stood in stark contrast to the escalating military operations between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Russian FM The discussion at the Eurasian Forum took a sharp turn when Lavrov condemned Western military alliances in Asia. He specifically targeted India's growing involvement in the US-led Quad, which includes Australia, Japan, and the United States. Lavrov's criticism of the Indo-Pacific Strategy, which India is increasingly part of, was pointed: "This Indo-Pacific had never existed — NATO made up this term to drag India into their anti-China schemes," he said. Lavrov's words struck a nerve with the 12-member Indian delegation, which was present at the forum. The Indian representatives, including members of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), were notably silent as Lavrov criticised joint military exercises within the Quad.

High dollar value fueling inflation
Listen to article The persistent high value of the US dollar against the Pakistani rupee continues to exert significant pressure on inflation within the country. Economists widely identify the exchange rate as a primary factor driving price increases. Due to this critical factor, the continuous drop in inflation, ie, 0.3% in April 2025 against 0.7% in March 2025, is not helping the federal as well as provincial governments to bring down prices of essential commodities, even the local produce did not match the price tag as it was a couple of years ago. "A weaker rupee directly increases the cost of all imports priced in dollars," said economist Osama Siddiqui. This includes essential items like medicines, industrial inputs and food Pakistan does not produce sufficiently. When the rupee falls from, say, 230 to over 280 per dollar, the landed cost in rupees for these goods rises substantially. "This cost-push effect is a major contributor to inflation, easily accounting for a significant portion of the price surge in imported goods. Recent data shows the rupee is trading consistently above 280 per dollar, compared to approximately 175 two years ago," he added. This dollar strength critically impacts petroleum prices, as Pakistan imports roughly 80% of its oil needs. "The kerb rate and official exchange rate directly influence the rupee cost of importing oil," said Muhammad Fareed, a money exchanger. A rise in the dollar rate translates very quickly into higher fuel prices at the pump. Higher petroleum costs then cascade through the economy via increased transportation expenses. Diesel and petrol are fundamental to logistics, said transport operator Riaz Hussain. "A 20% increase in diesel significantly raises the per-kilometre operating cost for transporting goods. This surcharge is inevitably passed on, inflating the prices of everything moved, from food staples to manufactured goods," he added. Economists estimate that fuel and transportation costs constitute about 35% of Pakistan's Consumer Price Index (CPI), directly linking fuel hikes to overall inflation, which peaked at over 38% last year. Global trade dynamics further complicate the situation. Disruptions in international supply chains directly increase the cost of Pakistan's essential imports like wheat, pulses and edible oil. "Events like the Red Sea tensions force longer shipping routes, doubling or tripling freight charges in some instances," Siddiqui added. "These are dollar-denominated costs. Any global supply chain issue or increased shipping risk translates into higher import bills for Pakistan, requiring more dollars and further pressuring the exchange rate and domestic prices." Geopolitical uncertainty, particularly surrounding major economies, adds another layer of pressure. Financial analyst Saad Mahmood pointed to concerns about potential policy shifts. "Global markets react to uncertainty and right now uncertainty is at its peak. The ongoing conflicts between, Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Hammas, with another threat of Iran being attacked in case they failed to reach any nuclear deal; and the Trump's trade war with China, European Union, etc, all are adding to the uncertainty. Capital often flows out of emerging markets like Pakistan towards perceived safer assets like the US dollar during such times." This reduced dollar supply within Pakistan makes the currency scarcer and more expensive. "When major international news breaks, especially involving the US or conflicts, demand for dollars often surges locally as people seek security, pushing the exchange rate up further," Mahmood said. The combined effect of the high dollar exchange rate, its impact on fuel and transportation, global trade disruptions and geopolitical uncertainty creates a challenging environment for price stability in Pakistan. The rising cost of essential imports, amplified by expensive transportation, continues to translate into higher prices for consumers across the board. To reverse the dollar's inflationary impact, Pakistan must boost exports and reduce import dependency, economists advise. "Increasing exports like textiles, IT services and agricultural goods is crucial to earn more foreign exchange," Siddiqui said. Simultaneously, promoting local manufacturing of essentials such as edible oils, pulses and industrial inputs would lessen the need for dollar-funded imports. Attracting foreign investment and securing stable financing to build reserves are vital to stabilise the rupee. Adequate reserves instill market confidence and reduce speculative pressure on the dollar while long-term fiscal discipline and policy consistency are essential to break the cycle of currency-driven inflation. "Right now remittances are the only window which is increasing decently, however, countries cannot only survive on this source of income, the world has entered into an era of artificial intelligence, we as a country must focus on this crucial aspect and catch the prosperity trains, which we have missed previously," he added.
