This experience allows students to immerse themselves in a new academic culture, build international networks, and explore diverse fields of study.
Student voices and impact
Shubhransi Kumar, a BA LL.B. (Hons.) student from the Class of 2025, who spent a semester at University of California, Berkeley, shares, 'Living and studying in a multicultural environment pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helped me grow into a more independent and self-aware individual, and gave me clarity about my future. From engaging academic discussions and courtroom visits to Coldplay concerts and cultural exchanges, every experience shaped me in ways I'll carry for life.'
Reflecting on her experience at The University of Edinburgh, Ananya Pandey, a BBA Global student (2024–2027), shared, 'This was an enlightening experience that provided valuable insights into the institution's offerings and academic environment. The enthusiasm of the faculty and students was infectious, making learning truly enjoyable! The immersion program left an indelible mark on me, inspiring me to push my boundaries and explore global opportunities.'
At UPES, international exposure isn't a privilege, it's a promise. A promise to shape globally competent leaders who don't just adapt to the world but lead it.

US, China agree to 90-day tariff truce, easing trade tensions
Washington, DC [US], August 15 (ANI): The United States and China have agreed to extend their tariff truce for 90 days, CNN reported, citing an executive order signed by President Donald Trump. This move averts an immediate surge in duties that could have severely impacted trade between the world's two largest economies. Notably, the tariffs on Chinese goods would have skyrocketed to 54 per cent from 30 per cent, while Chinese tariffs on US exports would have jumped to 34 per cent from 10 per a joint statement with the US, China confirmed the 90-day trade truce extension and said it would maintain the 10 per cent tariffs it has imposed on American goods during that Joint statement follows bilateral negotiations held in Sweden last month, it said. The extension comes after Trump imposed a slew of 'reciprocal" tariffs on trading partners around the world, which have raised the United States' effective tariff rate to levels not seen since the Great Depression, as per to CNN, higher tariffs on Chinese goods, America's second-largest source of imports, would have almost certainly raised the costs many American businesses and consumers could pay — or already are paying — because of increased import taxes Trump has meeting in Sweden in July, Chinese negotiators went as far as to say that a deal was reached. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, both of whom attended the meeting, disputed that, saying nothing was final without Trump's word. 'We'll see what happens. They've been dealing quite nicely. The relationship is very good with President Xi and myself," Trump had said on Monday. A White House fact sheet on the extension said trade discussions with China have been 'constructive" and quoted Trump saying: 'We're getting along with China very well."At the conclusion of last month's meeting with Chinese trade officials, Bessent said he warned his Chinese counterparts that continuing to purchase Russian oil would bring about huge tariffs under legislation in Congress that allows Trump to impose levies up to 500 per cent.

Trump's Putin Dilemma: Frustration, Hope For A Deal, And A Stark Intel Warning
As Trump prepares for his first meeting with Putin in six years, the White House hopes for a Ukraine breakthrough even as US intel warns the Kremlin's aims remain unchanged As the war in Ukraine enters its fourth year, US President Donald Trump heads into his first meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in six years, facing a stark divide in assessments. Inside the White House, there is hope that Putin may have changed enough to make a peace deal possible. But the US intelligence community remains convinced that the Kremlin's war aims are largely the same, and warns that any deal on Putin's terms could lock in Russian gains and set the stage for renewed aggression. According to a CNN report citing US and European officials, Trump's questions to aides and allied leaders in recent months — 'What's changed about Putin?" — reflect both his growing frustration with Moscow and a belief that the upcoming Alaska summit could produce an opening. Trump has often highlighted his 'very good relationship" with Putin during his first term. But in recent months, his private language about the Russian leader has shifted sharply. People familiar with internal discussions told CNN that Trump has grown impatient with Moscow's rejection of ceasefire proposals and with what his envoy, Steve Witkoff, described as the Kremlin 'tapping us along." CNN, 'His anger was palpable." White House Hopes Vs Intelligence Warnings Inside the administration, there are some signs of optimism. Sources told CNN that White House officials believe Putin's short-term objectives may have shifted. For instance, a willingness to consolidate current territorial gains and prioritise economic deals. This underpins Trump's hope that the Alaska summit could lead to progress. But US intelligence agencies, CNN reported, see the situation very differently. They assess that Putin: One person familiar with recent assessments told CNN: 'Putin thinks he is winning, so he has no reason to bend. He might as well pocket the wins he has now… and then make another run to take more later." Fears Of A 'Submission' Deal The planned summit, on American soil and without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy present, has prompted concern among some European and Ukrainian officials. A European diplomat told CNN: 'Russia is offering to stop the war if they get everything they have always wanted, including their most maximalist demands… that would not be a deal, it would be a submission." Others, however, believe Trump's personal style and recent policy shifts might position him to achieve what other leaders have not. On Wednesday, Trump warned that Russia would face 'very severe consequences" if he concluded that Putin was not serious about ending the war, though he did not specify what those would be. Putin: A 'Hard Target' For US Intelligence Decoding Putin's intentions has long been a challenge. A former KGB officer with a small circle of trusted advisers, the Russian leader is considered by US agencies to be a 'hard target", difficult to penetrate through traditional intelligence gathering. CNN noted that while the US has at times gained advance insight into Putin's plans, such as the decision to invade Ukraine in 2022, his daily decision-making remains opaque. During the pandemic, Putin's prolonged isolation further narrowed his contacts, with hardliners gaining influence as technocrats lost access. Trump's Confidence In A Quick Read Despite his past scepticism of the US intelligence community's assessments on Russia, Trump is entering the Alaska summit convinced that his personal rapport and instincts can deliver results. He believes he will know 'probably in the first two minutes" whether Putin is open to a deal, describing the meeting as a 'feel-out" session rather than a formal negotiation. European officials told CNN this self-assured approach reflects not only Trump's long-held belief in personal diplomacy but also a noticeable shift in his outlook since returning to the White House. 'Europeans say the one who changed is Trump… now Europeans say he finally gets it that Putin is a murderous leader," one US official said. This change, they suggest, stems from months of frustration over stalled talks and Russia's battlefield escalation, yet it hasn't dampened his belief that a personal read on Putin could unlock progress. The Pandemic And Putin's Behaviour According to CNN, some of Trump's advisers have suggested that Putin's behaviour since their last meeting in 2019 may have been shaped by the pandemic, when he rarely left his residence outside Moscow and required visitors to undergo lengthy quarantines. US intelligence reports from early 2022 described his behaviour then as 'highly concerning and unpredictable." Ukrainian assessments have sometimes gone further, with Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the country's military intelligence chief, claiming Putin uses body doubles and questioning whether the 'real Putin" is still alive, assertions not shared by US and European intelligence. Determined To Win Officials told CNN they believe Putin's determination to control Ukraine has only intensified. Angela Stent, a former US national intelligence officer for Russia, said: 'By now he believes that if Russia doesn't win this war, he won't be in office anymore… I think the fundamental beliefs probably haven't changed." Zelenskyy this week warned that Putin would try to deceive Trump, saying his intelligence services report that Moscow is 'definitely not preparing for a ceasefire or an end to the war." While Trump has reassured European leaders that Ukrainian territory is not for him to negotiate, his administration's focus on territorial exchange suggests some may underestimate the ideological nature of Putin's ambitions. Former US ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul told CNN: 'He is not a transactional leader… a person with that mindset is hard to negotiate with." top videos View all Bottom Line Trump approaches the Alaska summit frustrated with Putin, yet hopeful for a breakthrough. US intelligence agencies, however, see little sign the Kremlin's long-standing objectives have shifted, and warn that any premature deal could end up serving Moscow's interests more than Washington's or Kyiv's.
