PBS, NPR shutting down? Here's what Corporation for Public Broadcasting's latest announcement means
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the entity that channels federal funds to PBS and NPR, announced on Friday that it will begin winding down operations, raising fears about the future of public broadcasting in the United States. The 'orderly wind-down' comes after Congress's vote last month to cut $1.1 billion in its federal funding. (FILES) The headquarters for National Public Radio, or NPR, are seen in Washington, DC,(AFP) 'For nearly 60 years, CPB has carried out its Congressional mission to build and sustain a trusted public media system that informs, educates, and serves communities across the country. Through partnerships with local stations and producers, CPB has supported educational content, locally relevant journalism, emergency communications, cultural programming, and essential services for Americans in every community,' CPB said in its press release on Friday. On July 24, President Trump signed a $9 billion rescission package into law. The CPB, led by President and CEO Patricia de Stacy Harrison, said that most positions will be eliminated by September 30, 2025, with a small transition team remaining until January 2026, signaling an end to its role as a funding conduit after decades of support. Will PBS and NPR shut down? The announcement does not mean PBS and NPR will shut down immediately. NPR relies on direct federal funding for less than 2 percent of its budget, with member stations contributing about 30 percent, while PBS and its stations average 15 percent from CPB grants. "Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations," CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison said in a statement. "CPB remains committed to fulfilling responsibilities and supporting our partners through this transition with transparency and care." "Public media has been one of the most trusted institutions in American life, providing educational opportunity, emergency alerts, civil discourse, and cultural connection to every corner of the country," Harrison said. The loss of this funding threatens local stations, especially in rural areas like Unalakleet, Alaska, and Pendleton, Oregon, where federal support exceeds 90 percent of some budgets, NPR reported. CPB warns that without this lifeline, many of the 1,500 stations could close, disrupting educational programming like 'Sesame Street' and 'Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood' as well as emergency alerts and local news. The move stems from Trump's long-standing criticism of perceived liberal bias in public media. "It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions [sic] Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together. Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote on Truth Social last month.

Trump's Tariff Bomb To India Backfires, To Hurt American Economy
In a striking turn of events, United States President Donald Trump has been dealt setbacks from three different regions of the world. These developments come after Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on Indian goods, giving only a 1 percent concession from his earlier announcement of 26 percent. In contrast, he showed leniency towards Pakistan, reducing its proposed tariff from 29 percent to 19 percent and even signing an oil deal with the country—an action perceived as an attempt to sideline India. But India has delivered a swift response within 24 hours, signaling that this battle may not go the way Trump had hoped. In today's episode of DNA, Zee News analysed the implications of the tariff on India for the United States: Watch Full DNA Episode Here: #DNA | मुनीर के जाल में फंसे ट्रंप..बलोच काटेंगे 'पंख'! बलोचिस्तान में ट्रंप के ख्वाब के 'चीथड़े-चीथड़े'!#UnitedStates #DonaldTrump #Pakistan #TariffWar #Balochistan @pratyushkkhare — Zee News (@ZeeNews) August 1, 2025 India has decided not to pursue the purchase of the fifth-generation American fighter jet F-35. This move has been widely interpreted as a direct response to the U.S. tariff decision. Despite Trump's wish for India to buy the F-35, reports from American media stated that India has no interest in the deal. According to these reports: - India is not keen on acquiring the F-35. - The decision is being viewed as a strategic retaliation. - India is now prioritizing indigenous design and production in defense. - The focus has shifted to AMCA—India's own fifth-generation fighter jet program. - India is exploring models that ensure full technology transfer and domestic production. - Russia has already offered its Su-57 fifth-generation jet under such terms, making it a more attractive partner for India. The Ministry of External Affairs, in a written reply in Parliament, confirmed that no formal discussions have taken place with the U.S. regarding the F-35 purchase. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." Second Blow from Balochistan While Trump grows closer to Pakistan, leaders from Balochistan have openly challenged the US-Pakistan oil deal. During a recent dinner at the White House, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir allegedly presented an exaggerated picture of oil reserves in Pakistan to Trump. However, Baloch leaders have dismissed these claims as false and warned Trump of being misled. According to Meer Yar Baloch, a prominent Baloch leader, Pakistan misinformed the U.S. about the presence of oil. The actual reserves are in Balochistan, not in Punjab or Sindh. Balochistan holds rich deposits of oil, natural gas, copper, lithium, uranium, and other rare minerals. Baloch leaders assert that these resources belong to the Baloch people, not to Pakistan, China, or any foreign power. This signals that the Baloch movement will continue its struggle to protect these resources from foreign exploitation. Third Setback from Russia Trump's third setback comes from Moscow. Amid rising tensions, Russia has made it clear that it will not yield to American pressure. A Tale of Two Tariffs A closer look at Trump's tariff decisions reveals a stark contrast. While India faced a 25 percent tariff (down from the originally proposed 26 percent), Pakistan—originally slated for a 29 percent tariff—received a substantial reduction to 19 percent, along with a new oil deal. Bangladesh, too, was hit with a 20 percent tariff, still less than India.

Local textiles hemmed in: Trump cuts bangladesh tariff to 20%, leaving India at a disadvantage
Synopsis Following President Trump's decision to reduce tariffs for Bangladesh and Cambodia, Indian textile and apparel exporters are bracing for a significant blow to their US business. With tariffs higher than competitors and the potential for additional penalties due to Russian oil imports, Indian exporters fear losing market share. AP Representative Image Kolkata | Pune: India is at a disadvantage to Bangladesh in the export of textiles and apparel to the US after President Donald Trump on Thursday reduced Bangladesh's final tariff to 20% from 35%. The duty is 25% for imports from are fearing a blow to their business since they also have to pay a penalty on top of the tariff. The US has yet to specify the extent of the penalty that Trump said would be imposed on India for its import of oil from Russia. Even the tariff on Cambodia, another country that competes with India for textile exports to the US, has been reduced to 19% from 36%. Other manufacturing hubs like Indonesia (19%) and Vietnam (20%) already face lower US new tariffs will be effective August 7. India is the second largest exporter of apparel to the US, behind China. Indian exporters said they won't be able to compete against Bangladesh unless they forsake most of their margins. 'Our margins are in any case as low as 5-7%. With the new tariff in place, the survival of the industry will be at stake as it comprises micro, small and medium enterprise units mostly,' said Lalit Thukral, chairman of the Noida Apparel Export Cluster. American brands and companies will not buy garments from India, as the tariff will make the price high, he said. Between January and May 2025, the US bought textiles and apparel worth $4.59 billion from India, up 13.3% from a year earlier, according to the Office of Textiles and Apparel in the US. In the same period, Bangladesh's exports grew nearly 21% to $3.62 billion and Cambodia's shipments rose 18% to $1.94 billion. Exporters from Tamil Nadu's Tiruppur, the largest knitwear exporting hub of India, said US brands have deferred their purchase in the last two months due to uncertainty over tariffs. 'Government should now sit down and work out incentives for the companies who are exporting to the US based on tariffs imposed on Bangladesh, Cambodia and Vietnam who are all India's competitors in the US market,' said Raja Shanmugan, MD of Warsaw International and past president of Tiruppur Exporters' Association.
