New Delhi: The much-awaited meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump will be held in Alaska, USA, on 15 August to discuss the Ukraine issue. However, some of Trump's statements about Russia right before the proposed meeting can increase bitterness between the two countries. What did Trump say about Russia?
Donald Trump has described Russia's economy as being in crisis, adding that this is why he received a call from Putin for a meeting. In such a situation, Russia has also started preparations to show its military power. There are reports that Russia is preparing for new tests of 9M730 Burevestnik, one of the world's most powerful nuclear-powered cruise missiles. What is the importance of the Burevestnik missile for Russia?
Military experts say that if the test of 9M730 Burevestnik is successful, Russia will become the first country in the world to have a cruise missile capable of carrying nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Its range will be unlimited. In such a situation, it will be able to easily attack any part of the Earth. According to Defense Romania, 'There are indications that Russia is going to conduct a new test of its controversial nuclear-powered cruise missile 9M730 Burevestnik (NATO code: SSC-X-9 Skyfall) from the Pankovo range of the Arctic archipelago Novaya Zemlya.' Russia has issued NOTAM
Russia has issued a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) warning covering 40,000 square kilometers of Novaya Zemlya from August 7 to August 12. In addition, at least four Russian ships, which were previously anchored near the Pankovo missile testing range, have been deployed at surveillance posts in the eastern Barents Sea. This is a standard security measure taken during any major missile test. How powerful is the 9M730 Burevestnik missile?
Burevestnik is a revolutionary missile of its kind. Its special feature is its ability to fly on nuclear power and carry out nuclear attacks. This gives the missile unlimited range and the ability to dodge the world's best air defense. Russian President Vladimir Putin has described it as an 'invincible' weapon. This missile can change its path whenever it wants. In such a situation, it can be very difficult for the enemy's air defense to stop it. According to the report of the US Air Force's National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), if this missile joins the Russian army, it will give Putin a unique strength.

Trump teases ‘Trump/Kennedy Center'— First award nominees under his chairmanship drop Wednesday

S President Donald Trump said Wednesday (August 13) will mark the unveiling of nominees for this year's Kennedy Center Honors — the first to be announced since he reshaped the arts institution's leadership and became its chairman. In a Truth Social post, Trump hailed the 'great nominees' soon to be revealed, while making a playful slip by referring to the event as the 'Trump/Kennedy Center Awards.' 'GREAT Nominees for the TRUMP/KENNEDY CENTER, whoops, I mean, KENNEDY CENTER, AWARDS,' Trump wrote, hinting at his ongoing push to rename the Washington cultural landmark after himself. Created in 1971 in honor of President John F. Kennedy, the Kennedy Center has drawn Trump's criticism for being 'too woke.' Trump praised the ongoing efforts to restore the Kennedy Center to what he described as its 'absolute TOP LEVEL' of prestige. 'Tremendous work is being done, and money being spent, on bringing it back to the absolute TOP LEVEL of luxury, glamour, and entertainment,' he said. According to Trump, the cultural landmark had seen better days but is on track for a revival. 'It had fallen on hard times, physically, BUT WILL SOON BE MAKING A MAJOR COMEBACK!!!' he wrote. The remark comes as legislation introduced by Rep. Bob Onder seeks to rebrand the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as the 'Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts.' A separate House measure passed last month would rename the center's Opera House after First Lady Melania Trump. Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act allocates $257 million to renovate and restore the Kennedy Center. In June, Trump attended the opening night performance of Les Misérables at the venue — one of the first major productions under his tenure. The Kennedy Center Honors have traditionally been announced in summer for a December ceremony. During his first term, Trump skipped the annual Honors reception at the White House after several 2017 honorees threatened to boycott. For over four decades, the Honors have recognised artists whose work has shaped American culture — from Broadway to Hollywood and beyond — also celebrating lifetime achievement.

Trump govt modifies policy for H-1B visa holders' children – what does this mean for Indian families in US?

In the latest change in US visa policy, the Donald Trump administration said on Friday that it will allow children of holders of H-1B visas to age out of their protected legal status as their parents apply for green cards. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in its statement, said that it was modifying the Joe Biden administration's regulation that shielded young adults from surrendering their legal status if a parent's petition was still being processed when their children turned 21. It coincides with recent changes to the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), aligning with President Donald Trump's regulatory orders to tighten immigration controls. It is likely to impact about 2,00,000 children and young adults, including thousands of Indian families. This latest change to the US Citizenship policy will impact the people covered by the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA). In February 2023, the former US President Joe Biden's administration expanded the protections under the CSPA, allowing certain children to remain eligible for green cards once their parents became qualified to apply. This policy change aimed to prevent children from 'ageing out' of eligibility due to lengthy immigration backlogs. The Trump administration, however, withdrew these extensions on Friday, stating that CSPA provisions would again be provided when a visa is made available through the Department of State. According to USCIS, this would establish a more uniform process for individuals seeking immigrant visas and adjustment of status. 'The Feb. 14, 2023, policy resulted in inconsistent treatment of aliens who applied for adjustment of status in the United States versus aliens outside the United States who applied for an immigrant visa with the Department of State,' the USCIS stated. Extended waiting periods for applications to change their status, especially for those with H-1B and other temporary visas, may now result in a dependent child losing their legal status. They may even have to leave the USA when they turn 21, even if they have spent the majority of their lives in the country.
