Trump denies $30 bn US-Iran deal for non-military nuclear facilities
US President Donald Trump dismissed reports suggesting his administration is considering a USD 30 billion deal with Iran to develop civilian nuclear facilities.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Who in the Fake News Media is the SleazeBag saying that "President Trump wants to give Iran $30 Billion to build non-military Nuclear facilities." Never heard of this ridiculous idea. It's just another HOAX put out by the Fake News in order to demean. These people are SICK!!!"
US President Donald Trump on Friday (US local time) reiterated how the nuclear sites in Iran were "obliterated" and said that Iran has to come back to the world order flow, or else things could get worse for the country.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "Why would the so-called 'Supreme Leader,' Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war-torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie? It is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED, and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life."
"I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, "THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!" In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far," he added.
Trump further claimed that he had convinced Israel to bring back its large pool of fighter jets, which were heading toward Tehran.
Trump's remarks come on the backdrop of Operation Midnight Hammer carried out by the US on three nuclear sites of Iran- Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

India's ban on ships with Pakistani cargo raises freight costs, delays imports: Report
India's ban on ships carrying Pakistani goods from anchoring at its ports has increased freight charges and transit time, according to a media report. Following the Pahalgam terror attack, India imposed a comprehensive ban, effective May 2, 2025, on the direct or indirect import or transit of goods originating in or exported from Pakistan . Pakistani importers said the Indian ban has resulted in longer shipping times and higher freight charges, Dawn newspaper reported on Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không? IC Markets Đăng ký "Mother vessels are not coming to Pakistan due to this Indian action, which delays our imports by 30 to 50 days," said Javed Bilwani, President of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry . He said importers are now relying on feeder vessels, which raises costs. Live Events Exporters also reported a spike in shipping and insurance costs following the Indian ban. However, they said the overall impact on exports remains minimal, the paper reported. "There is no significant impact on exports..., except for a rise in insurance costs. Shipping charges had already gone up even before the escalation," said Aamir Aziz, an exporter of textile made-ups. Pakistan's exports are heavily reliant on imported inputs for value addition. With the government maintaining tight controls on imports to conserve foreign exchange, any disruption in supply chains has broader economic implications, the paper said. The India-Pakistan trade relations soured after the Pulwama terror attack, following which India raised the import duty to 200 per cent on all goods imported from Pakistan. Formal trade relations between Pakistan and India have remained frozen since 2019, and bilateral trade declined from USD 2.41 billion in 2018 to USD 1.2 billion in 2024. Pakistan's exports to India decreased from USD 547.5 million in 2019 to just USD 480,000 in 2024.

Trump's Sweeping Tax-Cut, Spending Bill Clears First US Senate Hurdle
The Republican-controlled US Senate advanced President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill in a key procedural vote late on Saturday, raising the odds that lawmakers will be able to pass his "big, beautiful bill" in the coming days. The measure, Trump's top legislative goal, passed its first procedural hurdle in a 51 to 49 vote, with two Republican senators voting against it. The result came after several hours of negotiation as Republican leaders and Vice President JD Vance sought to persuade last-minute holdouts in a series of closed-door negotiations. The procedural vote, which would start debate on the 940-page megabill to fund Trump's top immigration, border, tax-cut and military priorities, began after hours of delay. It then remained open for more than three hours of standstill as three Republican senators - Thom Tillis, Ron Johnson and Rand Paul - joined Democrats to oppose the legislation. Three others - Senators Rick Scott, Mike Lee and Cynthia Lummis - negotiated with Republican leaders into the night in hopes of securing bigger spending cuts. In the end, Wisconsin Senator Johnson flipped his no vote to yes, leaving only Paul and Tillis opposed among Republicans. Trump was monitoring the vote from the Oval Office late into the night, a senior White House official said. The megabill would extend the 2017 tax cuts that were Trump's main legislative achievement during his first term as president, cut other taxes and boost spending on the military and border security. Nonpartisan analysts estimate that a version of Trump's tax-cut and spending bill would add trillions to the $36.2-trillion U.S. government debt. Democrats fiercely opposed the bill, saying its tax-cut elements would disproportionately benefit the wealthy at the expense of social programs that lower-income Americans rely upon. Chuck Schumer, the Senate's top Democrat, demanded that the bill be read aloud before debate could begin, saying the Senate Republicans were scrambling to pass a "radical bill". "If Senate Republicans won't tell the American people what's in this bill, then Democrats are going to force this chamber to read it from start to finish," the New York Democrat said.

"Utterly Insane": Elon Musk Criticises Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Again
Washington: Billionaire Elon Musk on Saturday issued a blistering critique of the Senate's latest draft of Donald Trump's sweeping tax-and-spending bill, calling the legislation "utterly insane and destructive" right as the chamber prepared to open debate on the nearly 1,000-page proposal. "The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country," Musk posted, warning Republican leaders against pushing forward with the legislation. "Utterly insane and destructive," he added. "It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future." The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country! Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 28, 2025 The remarks revived tensions between the Tesla CEO and Trump's administration, particularly following Musk's recent departure as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge). His outspoken opposition adds yet another challenge for Republican Senate leaders scrambling to meet Trump's July 4 deadline for final passage. Earlier this month, Musk also denounced the House version of the bill, describing it as a " disgusting abomination." "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk wrote at the time. His comments triggered a highly public rift with Trump, although Musk has more recently made moves to restore communication with the president. On Saturday, he doubled down on his criticism, posting a series of comments that questioned the bill's energy policy and overall economic implications. In one post, Musk amplified remarks from Princeton energy systems engineer Jesse Jenkins, who sharply criticised the legislation's energy provisions. "The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it," Jenkins wrote. Musk responded, "Good question. Who?" He added, "this bill raises the debt ceiling by $5 TRILLION, the biggest increase in history, putting America in the fast lane to debt slavery." Good question. Who? At the same time, this bill raises the debt ceiling by $5 TRILLION, the biggest increase in history, putting America in the fast lane to debt slavery! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 28, 2025 The 940-page bill combines deep cuts to social programmes with major tax breaks and ramped-up spending on defence and immigration enforcement. It slashes Medicaid and food stamp funding. A key highlight is Trump's $350 billion border and security plan, which includes $46 billion for expanding the border wall, $45 billion for 100,000 migrant detention beds, and hiring 10,000 new ICE officers with $10,000 signing bonuses. The bill underpins Trump's pledge to launch the largest mass deportation effort in US history, targeting the removal of nearly one million people each year.
