Trump Calls India and Russia 'Dead Economies,' Announces New Tariffs on New Delhi
US President Donald Trump has sparked fresh controversy after calling India and Russia 'dead economies' while confirming that a new round of tariffs on New Delhi will take effect this week. In a late-night post on Truth Social, Trump said, 'I don't care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.' The president criticized India for its high import duties, describing them as 'among the highest in the world.' He also noted that the US does 'very little business' with both India and Russia, adding that he prefers to 'keep it that way.' Trump announced that a 25% tariff on Indian goods will begin on Friday, along with an unspecified 'penalty' over India's continued purchase of Russian weapons and energy. He did not clarify what the penalty would involve. The remarks come as Trump continues to pressure Russia to end its three-year war in Ukraine. Earlier this week, he warned that the US could impose more sanctions on Moscow within 10 days and hinted at 'secondary tariffs' on countries that continue to trade with Russia, such as India and China. Russian officials dismissed Trump's threats. Former President Dmitry Medvedev, now a close ally of Vladimir Putin, mocked the US leader's ultimatum, calling it 'theatrical.' Trump hit back, warning Medvedev to 'watch his words,' saying he was entering 'very dangerous territory.' India, now the world's most populous country, has been in trade talks with the Trump administration for months. However, negotiations have stalled due to US demands for greater market access, particularly in India's agriculture and dairy sectors. The new tariff is slightly lower than an earlier proposal in April but remains higher than those levied on other Asian nations with trade agreements with Washington. With tensions rising, the move risks straining relations between Washington and New Delhi, one of the US's key partners in Asia.

Ushering in good times
melissa@ Bahraini entrepreneur and horologist Mahmood Qannati has levelled up with two new global certifications, scaling greater heights in luxury watch-making. The founder of multidisciplinary niche luxury French Bahraini brand Qannati Objet d'Art has earned two internationally acclaimed certifications in the field of horology – the Watch Advisor certification from the Fondation Haute Horlogerie and the Train the Trainer certification from WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Educational Programme). Both milestones were achieved after a period of intensive training and assessment in Neuchâtel, Switzerland – the historic epicentre of fine Swiss watchmaking. The achievement is also part of a broader personal mission to become the first Arab watchmaker of his kind in the region, and signals the launch of a new phase in the development of the horological division of Qannati Objet d'Art, celebrated for its handcrafted objets d'art that 'fuse storytelling, sacred geometry, and ancestral craftsmanship'. The certifications further cement Mahmood's commitment to elevating the culture of horology and métiers d'art in the region, reinforcing the Maison's distinctive identity at the intersection of Arab heritage, French artistry, and Swiss horological excellence. As part of this next phase, Mahmood aims to establish educational foundations for horology and métiers d'art across the region. He aims to start with programmes at institutions like Bahrain Polytechnic. He also hopes to develop the Qannati Lab into a regional centre for high-end watchmaking, miniature sculpture, and ancestral crafts – ensuring these rare disciplines are preserved and passed on. Qannati Lab further aims to support the emerging watchmaking and jewellery sectors in the Arab world by training a new generation of artisans and positioning Bahrain as a regional hub of excellence. Mahmood's journey reflects a commitment to reviving ancient know-how, promoting the art of timekeeping in the Gulf, and solidifying Qannati Objet d'Art's status as a brand devoted to the art of horology.
