Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina, was the US Ambassador to the United Nations under Trump's first presidential term, becoming the first Indian-American to be appointed to a cabinet-level post in the US administration. In 2013, she officially announced her candidacy for the 2024 presidential election and withdrew from the race in March last year. Live Events Her comments came hours after Trump said India has not been a "good trading partner" and announced he will raise tariffs on India "very substantially over the next 24 hours" because New Delhi is buying Russian oil and "fueling" the "war machine". India on Monday mounted an unusually sharp counterattack on the US and the European Union for their "unjustified and unreasonable" targeting of New Delhi for its procurement of Russian crude oil. New Delhi's response came after Trump asserted that Washington will substantially raise tariffs on goods from India over its energy ties with Russia. Meanwhile, Trump, in an interview with CNBC responded to a question on China and its leader, Xi Jinping, and said, "We have a very good relationship". Trump added that he might have a meeting with the Chinese President "before the end of the year, most likely, if we make a deal." He said he won't have a meeting if a deal doesn't materialise. "But we're getting very close to a deal. We're getting along with China very well." Trump added that China is "very reliant" on the US. "My relationship with them is very good. I think we'll make a good deal. It's not imperative, but I think we're going to make a good deal." He added that he has had a "great relationship" with President Xi. "We respect him a lot. They respect us a lot."

Russian strikes kill six across Ukraine
Russian strikes across eastern Ukraine killed six people, including a mechanic at a railway station, and wounded at least a dozen people, authorities said on Tuesday (August 5, 2025). "Russian terrorists inflicted a massive strike on the railway infrastructure of Lozova," the Ukrainian Railways company posted on Telegram. Ukraine's railways have been heavily targeted by Russia's army throughout its invasion, launched in February 2022. Moscow has escalated aerial attacks ahead of a Friday deadline by U.S. President Donald Trump to make progress towards peace or face massive new sanctions. The nighttime strikes on Lozova in the eastern Kharkiv region left a passenger train mangled and charred and damaged the station building, with a pile of rubble on the platform. Two people were killed in Lozova, Kharkiv's Governor Oleg Synegubov said on Telegram. Among them was "a duty mechanic of one of the units", Ukrainian Railways said, adding that several trains had been rerouted. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had launched more than 25 Iranian-designed Shahed drones at the city, striking civilian infrastructure. "The railway was damaged, including a depot and a station," he said on social media, adding that 10 people were wounded in the attack. Ukraine's air force said Russia fired 46 attack drones and one ballistic missile in the barrage, down from the several hundred that Moscow has launched in previous nighttime attacks. A separate Russian strike on Ukraine's northeast Sumy region killed two people at an "agricultural enterprise" and wounded three employees, authorities said. In the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, two more people died after "the Russian army hit a house with an FPV drone," said its governor, Ivan Fedorov. In the Russian-occupied Lugansk region, four water utility workers were killed on duty in a Ukrainian drone attack on the city of Svatovo, Moscow-installed officials said.

Don't burn ties with India: Nikki Haley on Trump's tariff threat over Russian oil
Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has delivered a sharp rebuke of President Donald Trump's proposal to impose high tariffs on Indian exports, warning that the move could strain the US-India relationship at a crucial time. She warned Trump not to give a pass to "adversary" China and "burn" relations with an ally like Republican leader also called out the Trump administration's duplicity, highlighting a soft-handling of trade with China in which the US paused the tariffs for 90 a post on social media platform X, Haley wrote, "India should not be buying oil from Russia. But China, an adversary and the number one buyer of Russian and Iranian oil, got a 90-day tariff pause". "Don't give China a pass and burn a relationship with a strong ally like India," she who has long supported stronger ties between the US and India, has often emphasised the need to counter China's global influence by building closer partnerships with democratic nations in the Indo-Pacific — particularly comments followed Trump's recent interview with CNBC, where he announced plans to drastically raise tariffs, already at 25 per cent effective from August 1, on Indian goods within 24 hours. He linked the proposed move to India's continued purchase of Russian oil, stating that New Delhi was "fuelling the war machine"."India has the highest tariffs of any country," Trump said during the interview. "They do a lot of business with us. We don't do much with them. We agreed on 25 per cent tariffs, but I'm going to raise that very substantially now because of their Russian oil trade," Trump said, seeking to press the panic button for also acknowledged that India had offered to lower tariffs on US goods to zero under a new deal but dismissed the proposal as inadequate. "Zero tariffs aren't enough when they're helping fund a war we oppose," he has consistently defended its energy policy, arguing that its oil imports are based on national interest and Ministry of External Affairs has also pointed out that Western countries, including the US and EU, continue to maintain their own trade and energy ties with Russia, despite publicly criticising others for doing so.- Ends
