Former US ambassador makes massive statement, explains why Donald Trump imposed 50 percent tariff on India, lack of response led to...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has imposed a steep 50 percent tariff on India over its purchases of Russian oil. The new rate will come into effect in 21 days, so on 27 August, according to the executive order. A response from India's foreign ministry said Delhi had already made clear its stance on imports from Russia, and reiterated that the tariff is 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable'. To recall, in May, the Modi government outrightly rejected Trump's so-called role in the ceasefire with Pakistan. Former Indian ambassador and renowned author Vikas Swarup revealed that Trump's displeasure is also linked to India joining the BRICS organisation and refusing to bow to US pressure during trade negotiations. While talking to news agency ANI, the former Indian ambassador said that India–US relations are strategic, whereas US–Pakistan relations are merely a money game. The ambassador also praised India's firm stance. He also warned that Trump's tariffs would lead to a rise in inflation within the United States itself. What Vikas Swarup say: In an interview with ANI, Vikas Swarup, who is a former High Commissioner to Canada, said steps being taken by the US President Donald Trump will eventually lead to ratcheting up inflation in America. 'US called India a 'Tariff King'. But now the 'Tariff King' in the world is the United States because our average tariff is about 15.98%. The US tariff today is 18.4%. So, it is now the 'Tariff King' of the world. But the fact is, tariffs are bringing in money. They will bring in about a 100 billion dollars a year for the US. But the issue is that eventually who will pay for these tariffs? By American consumers. So, what's going to happen is this is going to ratchet up inflation in America, it's going to ratchet up prices in America. I think that's when the chickens will come home to roost,' he said. 'If you cave in to a bully then the bully will increase his demands. Then there will be even more demands. So, I think we have done the right thing. India is too large, too proud a country to become a camp follower of any other country. Our strategic autonomy has been the bedrock of our foreign policy right from the 1950s. I don't think that any Govt in Delhi can compromise on that,' says former diplomat Vikas Swarup on the tariff rift between India and the US,' he added. President Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods plus an unspecified penalty in July, even as there were hopes of an interim India-US trade deal that would have otherwise helped avoid elevated tariffs. A few days later, he imposed another 25 per cent tariff, taking the total to 50 per cent, over India's imports of Russian oil. On Opposition questioning India's Foreign Policy and diplomacy, Vikas Swarup said India should not cave in to any pressure as India's strategic autonomy is non-negotiable'. Here, I would not blame our diplomats at all. I think what has happened is Pakistan, through some intermediaries, has gotten the ear of the US President and that is why, two visits by Asim Munir to Washington, the so-called 'deal' with America on so-called 'oil reserves' of Pakistan. More importantly, I think Pakistan is now trying to position itself as the 'Crypto King' of South Asia and there, through World Liberty Financial in which Trump's family has stakes, Steve Witkoff's family has a stake, through that I think Pakistan has managed to project an image of itself as a reliable partner…All these things have led to Trump having a softer approach towards Pakistan,' he said.

Saiyaara would have 'flopped' if Shah Rukh Khan was in it, actor Varun Badola says superstar is 'too big for the film'
Actor Varun Badola, who was recently seen in the new release, Saiyaara, has been grabbing headlines for his views on the film's success these days. Badola has now opened up about the Star VS Content debate and whether movies no longer require big stars. Varun Badola discusses whether Saiyaara's success means star power is not essential In a new interview with Nayandeep Rakshit for his YouTube channel, Varun Badola pushed back against the idea that the success of Saiyaara proves that films no longer need big stars. The actor argued that the scale of a project dictates the star power required. Badola then stressed the importance of big stars by comparing Shah Rukh Khan 's superstardom to newcomer Ahaan Panday. The 51-year-old actor dismissed the notion of people believing that Saiyaara has proved that the audience doesn't need stars anymore. Varun Badola compares Shah Rukh Khan and Ahaan Panday for a film's success mantra 'Abhi tum Ahaan Panday ko utha ke Jawan mein daalo, Jawan flop ho jayegi. Shah Rukh ko Saiyaara mein daal do, Saiyaara flop ho jayegi ("If you put Ahaan Panday in Jawan, Jawan will flop. Put Shah Rukh [Khan] in Saiyaara, it will flop,)' he shared. The Sky Force actor further explained that Shah Rukh Khan will become 'too big' for Saiyaara, considering his stardom. Speaking about Ahaan, Badola added that the young actor will not have the personality to run a big spectacle like Jawan. Which role did Varun Badola play in Saiyaara? Saiyaara starred Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as the main leads. While Ahaan played the role of a musician, Krish Kapoor, Aneet was cast as Vaani Batra, a writer. Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara also featured actors like Rajesh Kumar, Shaad Randhawa, and Neil Bhoopalam. Actor Varun Badola was cast as Krish Kapoor's father, Ashok Kapoor. He is also a part of the new release, War 2. While the traditional model of a superstar guaranteeing a film's success has been severely challenged, star power has not completely vanished. Instead, it has evolved into a more complex dynamic where content is now a critical co-factor.

Wayne Rooney hits back at Tom Brady's ‘work ethic' comment, questions Birmingham City owner's awareness: ‘Not the NFL'
Former England and Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has fired back after finding himself at the wrong end of some fiery comments directed his way by American NFL great Tom Brady, who recently took over as owner of Birmingham City FC, the club at which Rooney was acting as coach two seasons ago. Wayne Rooney and Tom Brady have shared a few sharp words following a release of an Amazon Prime docuseries on Birmingham City FC. Speaking on his podcast The Wayne Rooney Show, the English star explained how Brady's questioning of his work ethic and demeanor while in charge of Birmingham stung and felt 'unfair'. "I think it was a very unfair comment. When I went into Birmingham, they were in a mess really,' explained Rooney, who has had a tough history in terms of his managerial career after trying to make the switch from his playing days. 'Hence the fact that, the players weren't really the players who could take the club forward.' 'Don't think he really understood football…' Rooney's tenure at Birmingham in the 23/24 season coincided with Brady's onboarding as part-owner and chairperson, a season which was covered in Amazon Prime docuseries 'Brady & The Blues: Birmingham City'. However, it was an unhappy year for the team, as they were relegated from the EFL Championship and into the third division of English football. In the docuseries, Brady and his business manager Ben Rawitz had commented on Rooney, questioning his work ethic and describing him as 'lackadaisical'. However, for a player considered to be one of the most determined and committed to come through the England systems in its long history, the comments didn't go down well for Rooney. "We knew that and Tom [came in] the day before a game, where the day is a little bit light anyway, and I don't think he really understood football that well at the time, maybe he does now…' explained the 39-year-old. 'Football is not NFL…' Rooney also explained that the disconnect stemmed from how the NFL lifestyle sees players go at 110% throughout the season, which isn't a realistic option in the much longer, more taxing world of football. "But what he does understand is, he's a hard worker, we know that, so that's why I'm really disappointed with the comment. Because football is not NFL - NFL works for 3 months a year, players do need rest as well, so I think he was very unfair the way he's come out and portrayed that,' said Rooney. Rooney would be the first to admit that his coaching experience has been disastrous, first being relegated with Derby County following a massive points deduction, before overseeing much of Birmingham's relegation season, and then joining Plymouth Argyle only to part ways halfway through the season with the Pilgrims in last place. Nevertheless, despite not having cracked it at any level as a manager, Rooney remains one of England's finest players in history, both in terms of talent and his dedication to the sport, explaining why the Birmingham owner's comments chafed in such a manner.
