As Trump gears up for a grand military parade in Washington to mark the Army's 250th anniversary—coinciding with his 79th birthday and Flag Day—Americans across all 50 states are rallying in protest. The "No Kings" movement, led by the 50501 coalition, has organised nearly 2,000 demonstrations nationwide to reject what they call Trump's authoritarian leadership. With no events planned in D.C, the flagship rally will be held in Philadelphia, while major cities like Chicago prepare for large, peaceful crowds. Protesters aim to challenge billionaire-first politics and the militarisation of democracy. Organisers emphasise nonviolence, urging participants to avoid confrontation and remain peaceful.

India is 'Maharaj' in tariffs: White House Trade Adviser Navarro
New Delhi, India is a "Maharaj" in tariffs and it is running a "profiteering scheme" by using discounted Russian crude oil, White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro has said, in yet another sharp criticism of New Delhi. India is 'Maharaj' in tariffs: White House Trade Adviser Navarro Navarro's comments came on a day External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar responded to criticism of India by American officials for its energy ties with Russia, and said the US itself had asked New Delhi to help stabilise global energy markets by buying Russian oil. The White House Trade Adviser also talked about how India is "cosying up to" Chinese President Xi Jinping. The relations between New Delhi and Washington are on a downturn after US President Donald Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to a whopping 50 per cent including a 25 per cent additional duties for India's purchase of Russian crude oil. "Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, India virtually bought no Russian was like almost one per cent of their need. The percentage has now gone up to 35 per cent," Navarro told reporters in the US. Navarro's fresh attack on India came three days after he wrote a piece in the Financial Times slamming the country for its procurement of Russian crude oil. He said the argument that India needs Russian oil to meet its energy requirement does not make any sense. They get chip Russian oil and make refined products which they sell at premium prices in Europe, Africa and Asia, he said, adding "it is purely profiteering by the Indian refining industry." "What is the net impact on Americans because of our trade with India? They are Maharaj in tariff. higher non-tariff barriers, massive trade deficit etc and that hurts American workers and American business," he said. The money they get from us, they use it to buy Russian oil which then is processed by their refiners, he said. "The Russians use the money to build arms and kill Ukrainians and Americans tax-payers have to provide more aid and military hardware to Ukrainians. That's insane." "India does not want to recognise its role in the bloodshed," he said, adding India is running a "profiteering" scheme. Though the US imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on India for its energy ties with Russia, it has not initiated similar actions against China, the largest buyer of Russian crude oil. Defending its purchase of Russian crude oil, India has been maintaining that its energy procurement is driven by national interest and market dynamics. India turned to purchasing Russian oil sold at a discount after Western countries imposed sanctions on Moscow and shunned its supplies over its invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022. Consequently, from a mere 1.7 per cent share in total oil imports in 2019-20, Russia's share increased to 35.1 per cent in 2024-25, and it is now the biggest oil supplier to India.
