05:54 (IST) May 30
The Trump administration plans to challenge a court ruling that overturned several of its import tariffs, vowing to escalate the matter to the Supreme Court, White House Press Secretary Karine Leavitt said. She called the ruling 'judicial overreach' and insisted Trump's tariffs are legally sound. The US has filed an emergency appeal and urged a suspension of the decision.
Meanwhile, a US team is set to visit India on June 5-6 for the next round of talks on a Bilateral Trade Agreement.
Former US official Ray Vickery warned that Washington's 'bullying approach' won't help. Trump has claimed he mediated India-Pakistan tensions, but New Delhi says the ceasefire followed direct talks between DGMOs after Operation Sindoor destroyed nine terror camps.

Donald Trump Likely To Speak With Xi Jinping This Week Amid US-China Tariff Tensions
Last Updated: Donald Trump is likely to speak with Xi Jinping "very soon" amid the ongoing tariff war between the US and China, the White House said. US President Donald Trump is likely to speak with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, this week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday. This comes days after Trump accused the rival country of breaking a deal to reduce tariffs and trade limits. The agenda of the call is likely to sort out disagreements over last month's tariff deal made in Geneva, besides other major trade issues between the two countries. However, it was not entirely clear when Trump and Jinping would speak. Leavitt is the third top US official to confirm Trump's possible call with Jinping, after the President himself and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Bessent told CBS News on Sunday that Trump and Jinping would talk to each other 'very soon" to discuss the trade differences, which also include a dispute over critical minerals and Beijing's restrictions on exports of certain minerals. Trump said last week on Friday that he was sure he would speak with his Chinese counterpart. Bessent led the trade talks with China in Geneva last month, which resulted in a temporary pause in the trade war between the two economic giants, however, the progress has been slow since then, the US Treasury chief said in an interview with Fox News last week. The announcement of the US-China deal to put on hold the retaliatory high tariffs on each other for 90 days sparked a big rally in global stock markets. However, it didn't solve the main reasons behind Trump's tariffs on Chinese products — especially U.S. concerns about China's state-controlled, export-focused economy. Such issues are yet to be discussed in future conversations between the two leaders. Last week, a US trade court ruled that Trump went beyond his legal powers when he imposed most of his tariffs on imports from China and other countries, including India, using emergency law on April 2. However, a federal appeals court put that decision on hold and brought the tariffs back, stating that it needed time to review the government's appeal. The appeals court gave the challengers until June 5 to respond, and the Trump administration until June 9. First Published: June 03, 2025, 07:05 IST

'Opposition's Special Parliament Session Demand Not Justified': Govt Sources
Last Updated: The Opposition has demanded a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. Amid growing Opposition's demand for a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor, sources said on Tuesday that the government is not considering this call as the regular Monsoon Session is already scheduled for July. According to government sources, the demand for a special session 'is not justified" since the next Parliament session is around the corner. This comes after the Congress-led Opposition raised its voice to call for a special session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor and the recent statement by Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan, who recently referred to jets being downed, without specifying the details, during Operation Sindoor. Govt May Consider Holding Discussion On Op Sindoor In Parliament According to the sources, the government may consider holding a discussion on Operation Sindoor in the Parliament, where Defence Minister Rajnath Singh may make a statement in the Monsoon session. They also refuted the buzz that there would be a special session to mark the 50th anniversary of the 'Emergency' on June 25-26. 'On buzz that there is a special session for the Emergency 50th anniversary. No truth in that- it's a figment of imagination of some leaders," sources said. Several Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, intensified attacks on the government after extending initial support to the Centre during Operation Sindoor. Rahul asked how many jets India lost during the four-day military confrontation with Pakistan between May 7 and 10. After his remarks, Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, alleged that the government misled the nation and called for special session of Parliament. Over 200 Opposition MPs in Lok Sabha have signed letter to the Prime Minister, demanding the special session. First Published: June 03, 2025, 09:13 IST

Iran Rejects Trump Uranium Condition For Nuclear Deal; Nuke Talks To Collapse Soon?
Iran strongly criticized President Trump's renewed vow to block uranium enrichment, calling it a violation of its sovereign right to peaceful nuclear development. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking in Cairo, warned that any denial of this right would make a deal impossible. He hailed enrichment as a scientific achievement and stressed Iran's compliance with the 2015 nuclear deal. The statement came as Trump contradicted his envoy's recent proposal, which reportedly allowed limited enrichment in Iran. The White House refused to confirm the offer, citing ongoing negotiations. Despite several rounds of talks in Muscat and Rome yielding positive tone, the issue of uranium enrichment remains unresolved and central to any future agreement.#IranNuclearDeal #Trump #UraniumEnrichment #JCPOA #Israel #USIranTensions #NuclearTalks
