Recession fears in the US are reflecting in Wall Street's meltdown since last week, with the selloff extending to Asian markets. Wall Street saw a deep selloff overnight, marking its worst drop since September 2022. The selloff was fueled by investor fears over mounting trade tensions and recession risks. This comes as President Donald Trump refused to rule out an economic downturn.

US markets in turmoil over recession risks

Mahmoud Khalil , a pro-Palestinian activist from Columbia University, was recently arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for allegedly leading pro-Palestine protests at the Ivy League campus in New York City in 2024. Khalil was the leader of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest and was in his apartment on Saturday (March 8) when he was arrested.&nbsp;
Soon after the arrest, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio took to X and said, "We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported." Khalil is a permanent resident of the US.&nbsp;

The Donald Trump administration tried to deport the pro-Palestine activist after his arrest, but a federal judge temporarily blocked the attempt.
The arrest has come as a part of Trump's pledge to crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters and any other students demonstrating against Israel.&nbsp;

The US president posted on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday (March 10) saying Khalil's arrest is "one of many to come" against pro-Palestine students.
Trump alleged that these protesters are not students but "paid agitators".
He added that his administration would not "tolerate pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic and anti-American activity".
"We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathisers from our country never to return again. If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America&rsquo;s Colleges and Universities to comply," Trump wrote.&nbsp;
The arrest of the 30-year-old student - who graduated last year in December - led to protests in the US from civil rights groups and free advocates.&nbsp;

Why did Trump administration arrest pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil? What we know

Market volatility surges as recession fear grips invest

In a significant policy reversal, US President Donald Trump is set to lift his ban on military aid and intelligence support for Ukraine following a last-ditch appeal by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, reports said.&nbsp;
The move, if it happens, marks a significant shift from Trump's recent suspension of all aid and intelligence-sharing with Kyiv, a decision that had also barred allies like the UK from sharing US intelligence with Ukraine as it continues to battle Russia.

<h2>Trump-Starmer talks</h2>
Starmer, as per a Mirror UK report, spoke directly with Trump for approximately 20 minutes ahead of scheduled peace talks in Saudi Arabia, pressing for the reinstatement of intelligence-sharing and military assistance. UK officials have also worked behind the scenes to encourage Ukraine to meet US conditions to secure the resumption of support. A spokesperson for Downing Street confirmed that the prime minister hoped for a "positive outcome" from the discussions.
"The prime minister said he hoped there would be a positive outcome to the talks that would enable US and intelligence to be restarted," said the Downing Street spokesperson.

Furthermore, Starmer is reportedly preparing to host a new meeting of countries willing to join his "coalition of the willing" to help protect Ukraine after any potential peace deal.
Addressing the Parliamentary Labour Party, Starmer emphasised the situation's urgency: The "real world is moving quickly and people look to their government to seize it and shape it for the benefit of the British people."&nbsp;
"That's why I have been clear the security of Ukraine is the future of Europe and our support for Ukraine is unwavering. Our defence and security must come first. That is what we owe to the British people," he added.

US to resume military aid and intelligence support to Ukraine after UK PM Starmer's appeal to Trump

There will at some point be an effort to engage with Russia and establish a process to determine their positions, see how far apart we are," Rubio said.
He also said that the US must grasp Ukraine&rsquo;s stance and have a broad understanding of any concessions Kyiv might be willing to consider. The ongoing pause in aid to Ukraine is another key issue Rubio hopes to resolve, and Tuesday&rsquo;s discussions will be crucial in addressing the matter.

The show had first premiered in 2004 and had soon become a hit and garnered huge popularity, raking in tens of millions of viewers each episode. The format saw 16 contestants completing various business-related challenges as they vied for a job at the Trump Organization and attempted to dodge the president's signature catchphrase, "You're fired," which led to the disqualification of the contestant.&nbsp;

Justin Trudeau cries again? Gets emotional after being introduced by daughter for farewell speech

President Donald Trump has been hitting the golf courses frequently since his return to the White House, playing golf on 13 out of 48 days since the day he assumed office for his second term.
His golf trips to Florida have come with a hefty price tag, estimated to be around $10.7 million.
According to a new report, his love for the game has cost taxpayers $18 million.&nbsp;
Trump was back on the golf course near his Mar-a-Lago estate, the same day following the vandalism of his Scottish golf resort, Turnberry, by pro-Palestinian activists.
According to the White House pool report, Donald Trump arrived at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach on Saturday, March 8, at 8:15 a.m. following a brief drive from his Mar-a-Lago residence, often referred to as the "Winter White House," located just across the Intracoastal Waterway in Palm Beach.
According to HuffPost's analysis, this was Trump's 10th trip to the golf club since his inauguration on January 20th.&nbsp;
He also golfed three times at Trump Doral, located east of Miami International Airport.
<h2>Trump's Florida trips cost US taxpayers $18 million</h2>
Citing costs from a 2019 Government Accountability Office report, HuffPost claims that Trump's alleged spending on his weekends in Florida has already cost American taxpayers over $18 million.
During Trump's first term in office, his golf trips racked up a staggering cost of $151.5 million over four years. The first four trips alone cost an estimated $3,383,250 dollars each in 2017, and with inflation, that number has likely increased.&nbsp;
Whenever he travels to his golf courses in Florida, he flies down on Air Force One, while his motorcade vehicles are transported by the military using C-17 planes.
Since travelling from Mar-a-Lago to the golf club involves crossing from the barrier island to the mainland, a multi-layered security operation is deployed.
Police boats equipped with machine guns patrol the waterway, while a Coast Guard vessel remains stationed off the beach in the Atlantic. Additionally, local law enforcement agencies are involved, and explosive-sniffing dogs are also deployed to ensure the president's safety.&nbsp;
Trump's security has been heightened after the US president survived two assassination attempts in 2024.

US President Donald Trump delays some tariffs on Canada, Mexico

It's Donald Trump vs the world! The US president has caused major ripples across global trade supply chains. While other countries are scrambling to secure a deal with Trump without the tariffs threat, Saudi Arabia seems to be an important wheel in Trump's cycle of strategic alliances.
Trump had demanded Saudi Arabia increase its investment pledge to $1 trillion from the initial $600 billion reported in January. He also called for Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down oil prices. This followed Trump's conversation with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where discussions centred around the kingdom's 'international economic ambitions' and trade issues.
A month later, Trump announced plans to travel to Saudi Arabia on his first trip abroad to seal the deal! According to sources, Trump said he would probably travel there in the next month and a half. He also noted the cordial relations, highlighting the investments pledged during his first term in 2017.
'This time, they've gotten richer, we've all gotten older,' said Trump as he expressed confidence in Saudi's $1 trillion investment over 4 years in American companies, including purchases of US military equipment.
'And they've agreed to do that, so I'm going to be going there, and I have a great relation with them, and they've been very nice,' Trump said.

It's Donald Trump vs the world! The US president has caused major ripples across global trade supply chains. While other countries are scrambling to secure a deal with Trump without the tariffs threat, Saudi Arabia seems to be an important wheel in Trump's cycle of strategic alliances. Trump had demanded Saudi Arabia increase its investment pledge to $1 trillion from the initial $600 billion reported in January. He also called for Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down oil prices. This followed Trump's conversation with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, where discussions centred around the kingdom's 'international economic ambitions' and trade issues.

President Donald Trump is planning to revoke the temporary legal status of 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the US following Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine. According to a Reuters report that cited sources, the move would potentially pave the way for their deportation.
This comes following the explosive spat between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that happened at the White House on February 28. The move would be part of the broader effort to strip the legal status of over 1.8 million migrants that were allowed to enter the US on humanitarian grounds under the Biden administration, the report said.

US President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order to dismantle the Education Department, according to US media reports.
The order, which could be signed as soon as Thursday (Mar 6), would instruct the newly appointed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to dismantle the department as the administration seeks to shrink the federal government.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, a draft of the executive order directs McMahon to &ldquo;take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department&rdquo; based on &ldquo;the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.&rdquo;
Trump has expressed intentions of closing the department long before he assumed the office, as promised to decentralise education in the country during his campaign. He said that he would transfer the department&rsquo;s power to the state government.

Trump planning something new? 'Gulf of America' map in Oval Office sparks online debate

India is set to see its first Tesla showroom. Reports suggest that the EV giant has signed a five-year lease in Mumbai's prime location. Tesla will pay an initial annual rent of $446,000, with an increase to $542,000 by the fifth year.
<h2>Tesla moves amid 'Trump effect'</h2>
This update comes as US President Donald Trump called out India for its high auto tariffs. Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, have long been critical of the high levies that India has imposed. High duties have kept Tesla from entering the world's third-largest car market. However, Musk now has the backing of Trump, who reaffirmed his aggressive tariffs stance. Reports also suggest that low auto tariffs are crucial in the ongoing India-US trade negotiations. Commerce Secretary Piyush Goyal is currently in the US to diffuse trade tensions and possibly find a middle ground for India - &nbsp;a deal that favours a strategic trade balance with the US but also protects its domestic industries.
<h2>Can Tesla compete in India?</h2>
Even if we imagine a world where Tesla rides on Indian roads, the journey is expected to be tricky. India's EV market is currently dominated by domestic automakers, with Tata Motors holding over 60 per cent market share. Pricing could be crucial since Tesla's base models cost nearly double the price of existing Indian EVs. Tesla can probably capitalise on the growing premiumisation of the Indian market, with luxury segments outpacing affordable shopping.
But pricing isn't the only challenge. EV infrastructure could be a bigger issue, with a glaring lack of charging stations. Tesla's low ground clearance may require re-engineering, significantly increasing costs. Electric vehicle growth is still nascent in the country, with EVs making up less than 3 per cent of the total passenger car sales in India, which, in hindsight, could mean unearthed potential.
<h2>Can India become a safe haven for Tesla?</h2>
Tesla's India bet also comes at a crucial time globally. The company faces rising opposition in Europe amid protests against Elon Musk. Multiple vandalism reports have emerged across the US and Europe. Meanwhile, cyber truck owners report harassment and intimidation on the roads as Tesla's once-loyal fan base crumbles. Now, a movement called 'Tesla Takedown' is gaining momentum, urging consumers to boycott Musk's businesses. As growth challenges mount in mature markets, a country like India - one of the world's fastest-growing auto markets - could be crucial for Tesla's expansion.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe announced on Wednesday (Mar 5) that the US has paused intelligence support and weapons shipments to Ukraine. This comes after the tense White House spat between the US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week on February 28.
The fallout between Kyiv and Washington was shortly followed by the US freezing military aid to Ukraine amid the ongoing war with Russia for over three years. In addition to that, the US has now paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Meet Doug Collins, designated survivor for Trump's 2025 joint address to Congress

In a press release that could be unprecedented, the White House on Tuesday (March 4) released a list of moments "Democrats refused to applaud" for US President Donald Trump during his speech to the joint session of Congress.
<h2>White House's petty move</h2>
Slamming Democrats for being "too consumed by their own hatred of President Trump," the White House, in the release that's nothing short of petty, listed the moments the opposition refused to show support.

"Tonight, President Donald J. Trump delivered bold, forward-looking remarks before a joint session of Congress &mdash; highlighting the historic accomplishments already achieved in his second term and setting the course for four years of prosperity and strength," said the White House in a statement.
"Unfortunately, Congressional Democrats were too consumed by their own hatred of President Trump, refusing to show support for lowering taxes, fighting childhood cancer, capturing terrorists, protecting women and girls in sports, or law and order &mdash; to name only a few."

Quoting former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, it added, "The Democratic Party still has no common sense. They have no ideas and they have no heart. They couldn&rsquo;t even stand for the most inspiring moments of the speech."
<h2>Why is this unprecedented?</h2>
The White House's press release lists exact moments from the one hour and 40 minutes speech when Democrats did not join the applause. In total, it listed 35 moments, including when Trump declared "America's youth are perfect as God made them," during his signature anti-transgender statements.

Usually, the White House avoids a free-for-all roast and attempt to keep things polished and "presidential". But it must be noted that the White House, regardless of administration, isn't exactly known for staying above the fray. Its releases typically reflect the administration's agenda, however, the detailed analysis of the exact moments where the opposition's leaders refused to applaud the US President is unusual.

White House gets 'petty'? Releases list of moments Democrats didn't clap for Trump

US President Donald Trump's recent address to a joint session of Congress set records for being the longest one. In his speech, Trump highlighted the efforts of a young boy, DJ Daniel, as an honorary law enforcement officer. While talking about the 13-year-old and his commitment, Trump elevated his position and made him 'an agent of the United States Secret Service.' The big announcement seemed like a dream-come-true moment for Daniel and his family.&nbsp;

Introducing DJ Daniel, Trump said, "Joining us in the gallery is a young man who truly loves our police; his name is DJ Daniel. He is 13 years old and has always dreamed of becoming a police officer."
DJ has been a warrior and fighting bravely against cancer since 2018, when he was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors treating him had given him 5 months at most to live. But the strong and determined Daniel was not willing to give up. And ever since, he and his father have been on a quest to make his dream come true.
In a video released by the White House, Daniel was seen saying, "I had thirteen brain surgeries and that's how many times my personality has changed. I wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for my dad, he is proud of me and I am pretty proud of him too." He added, "I would like to thank President Trump, because if it wasn't him, I wouldn't have been here today."

Who is DJ Daniel? Trump appoints 13-year-old cancer survivor as United States Secret Service agent

US President Donald Trump's decision to wage a tariff war with the world has rattled global markets. The S&amp;P 500 dropped to its lowest level since before the 2024 election, reflecting investor concern.
<h2>Economy on the frontline?</h2>
The tariffs, which impact major goods trade, including Steel, Aluminium, and Auto parts, are projected to raise US consumer costs by an average of $1000 annually. Economists also warn that these moves could slash US GDP growth by up to 1 per cent this year, with some experts even predicting a potential recession. As the trade war escalates, the impact is visible across multiple sectors, with major manufacturers bracing for price hikes and job cuts.
<h2>Industry-wise impact</h2>
The auto industry is particularly vulnerable, with some vehicle prices expected to rise by as much as 25 per cent. Supply chains across North America face disruptions as carmakers warn of potential consequences. Farmers, in particular, face a double blow. Tariffs on US agricultural exports to China and Mexico threaten to undermine key export markets for products like Soybeans, Corn and Pork.
Homebuilders are also under pressure, with tariffs on raw materials and finished goods like appliances and cabinets driving up construction costs. The housing index has fallen 4.8 per cent in 2025. Aerospace suppliers are also facing growing concerns as Canada is the top US Aerospace import partner. Boeing, already grappling with supply chain issues, has seen its stock drop 3.9 per cent.&nbsp;
Steel and Aluminium tariffs add another layer of impact, with Canada supplying 80 per cent of US primary Aluminum imports in 2024. With new duties in place, aluminium giant Alcoa warns of 100,000 job losses in the US. The company's stock is already down 17 per cent this year.
Meanwhile, Trump defended his tariff strategy in his latest Congress speech. 'Tariffs are not just about protecting American jobs. They're about protecting the soul of our country. Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again and it's happening and it will happen rather quickly. There'll be a little disturbance but we're okay with that. It won't be much,' he said.
However, critics argue that the economic costs outweigh the benefits. Inflation is projected to rise by 0.6 percentage points due to tariffs. Gas prices in the Northeast and Midwest could also rise 20 to 40 cents a gallon, putting additional pressure on American households. As the trade war builds, many question the long-term effectiveness of this aggressive trade strategy.
