US President Donald Trump has once again accused China of interfering in the 2020 US Presidential Election, claiming Beijing obtained American voter data and attempted to influence the election. Speaking at the White House, Trump said the alleged interference happened "a long time ago" but confirmed that the United States would raise the issue with China. The remarks come just ahead of the expected Xi Jinping visit to Washington, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met China's top diplomat in Manila to prepare the groundwork for high-level talks. However, Rubio reportedly did not raise Trump's election interference allegations during the meeting, instead focusing on Iran, trade, fentanyl trafficking, and broader US-China relations.

Someone who looked just like Donald Trump was seen standing behind the US President in video footage shot in front of Air Force One. Jon Stewart pointed it out on The Daily Show and asked whether there could be a "backup Trump". He played visuals of Trump speaking with reporters during a segment on the World Cup final. This time, it wasn't what Trump said that made for content, but a figure looking in the background. The man resembled Trump in height, build, a navy blue suit, hair, the way he stood, and in pretty much every other way.&nbsp;Expressing shock at this person, a baffled Stewart asks, "What’s up with the guy behind Trump? Can we see that again? Can you bring that out? Who the f**k is this guy? Who in the world is it? Oh my God! Is that a backup Trump?"&nbsp;He continues to express his disbelief. &nbsp;“Wait, what?

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday (Jul 21) a sweeping, phased tariff structure on imported generic drugs, setting a two-year countdown before duties skyrocket to 200 per cent. The policy aims to force pharmaceutical companies to reshore manufacturing facilities directly onto American soil.Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump laid out a timeline giving generic medicine manufacturers a temporary zero-tariff window to establish production plants within the United States. He said, "Effective August 1st, 2026, all Generic Drugs being brought into the United States will continue to have a TARIFF of ZERO PERCENT for a two year period of time, after which the TARIFF will be raised to 100% for a one year period of time, and 200% thereafter."

<h2>How it will impact India</h2>The phased tariff structure, Trump said, is explicitly designed as an ultimatum to international drug manufacturers to invest in domestic American infrastructure or face severe financial penalties. "This is done in order to RESHORE Generic Pharmaceutical Production into America, with a penalty to those Companies that decide not to build Plant and Equipment within the stated period of time given to them," Trump added. "The objective of this Policy is to protect the people of the United States."

The escalation poses a significant long-term challenge to foreign export hubs, particularly India. Notably, Indian pharmaceutical manufacturers supply roughly 40% of all generic drugs consumed in the United States by volume.<h2>"Pharmacy of the World"</h2>India is widely dubbed the "Pharmacy of the World," holding over 3,000 US FDA-approved manufacturing plants. This is the highest number of US FDA-compliant facilities located outside of the United States. Noting this, at the USISPF India Leadership Summit in New Delhi in Oct 2024, Union Health Secretary Punya Salila Srivastava said, "The contribution of the Indian pharmaceutical industry is evidenced by the fact that India has the highest number of US FDA-approved pharmaceutical plants outside of the United States. This is 25 per cent of the total number of US FDA-approved pants outside of the US.."Indian generic drugs, she said "provided 219 billion USD savings to the US healthcare system in 2022 and a total of 1.3 trillion USD savings between 2013 and 2022".

US President Donald Trump has unveiled a phased tariff regime that will raise duties on imported generic drugs to 200% after three years, a move aimed at shifting pharmaceutical manufacturing to the US and one that could significantly affect India's generic drug exports.

West Asia remains on edge as the United States conducted strikes on Iran for the ninth consecutive evening, followed by fierce retaliation from Tehran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that his country was fighting a full-scale war with the US, even as both sides hinted at pursuing talks as well. In a fresh escalation, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis announced a maritime embargo of Saudi Arabia. Last week, hostilities between the two sides escalated after Houthis accused Riyadh of launching air strikes against the international airport in Sanaa. In retaliation, the Houthis fired missiles at the international airport in Saudi Arabia's Abha. A closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by the Houthis will imply a new threat to energy supplies, as nearly 7 per cent of global crude oil transits this narrow corridor. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said, "First, the Yemeni armed forces declare a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of 'An eye for an eye,' effective immediately upon the issuance of this statement." A few hours earlier, CENTCOM conducted air strikes on Iran to diminish its ability to attack vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The US claimed to have targeted Iranian military command centres, air defence and coastal surveillance sites, and communication networks. As per US President Donald Trump, these strikes were carried out in honour of the US military personnel killed in recent days. As of now, the death toll of confirmed American fatalities in the Iran war is 17. Subsequently, Iran retaliated by striking Syria once again. IRGC claimed to have struck the special operations command centre in the Al-Tanf region. It also targeted US military aircraft stationed at Jordan's Aqaba airport with ballistic missiles, reportedly causing damage to several jets.<h3>Iran attacks MQ-9 drone hangar&nbsp;</h3>Kuwait too bore the brunt of multiple attacks. Iran not only claimed to have destroyed an early-warning radar system but also struck an MQ-9 drone hangar at the Ali Al Salem air base, reportedly setting several drones on fire. Explosions were heard in Manama too. As per local authorities, Iranian drones targeted Bahrain's civil air navigation systems. This is not all. Iran claimed to have shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone over the city of Ahvaz. Footage released by IRGC of its attacks on West Asia showed missiles bearing this message: "Anyone who destabilises the security of the Iranian people will not themselves be safe either". Meanwhile, air raid sirens sounded in Kuwait City, as residents and visitors continued moving through the area. Kuwait's military stated that it was responding to a fresh round of missiles and drones unleashed by Iran. Iran also announced that two oil tankers which attempted to enter and exit the Strait of Hormuz through an unsafe route exploded and were brought to a halt. IRGC has warned that this strategic waterway will remain unsafe for transit for even a single drop of oil and gas, as long as America's aggression continues. At the same time, Iran revealed that diplomatic exchanges with the US via mediators were ongoing. As per Reuters, mediators have proposed a ten-day cessation of strikes to revive the MOU signed by Iran and the US. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, "Proposals have been put forward and conveyed to us by the mediators. We have received them, but please excuse me from going into their details. However, the main point that the diplomatic apparatus has been active and that ideas from some mediators have reached us is confirmed."&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/in-a-full-scale-war-with-united-states-says-iran-s-pezeshkian-amid-us-strikes-1784554479717">In a 'full-scale war' with United States, says Iran's Pezeshkian amid US strikes</a> A day earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also showed America's willingness for a diplomatic settlement, even as he called upon other countries to join efforts to protect the safety of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Now, are the latest US attacks a precursor to a possible ground invasion? As per reports, Trump is leaning towards further expanding US military operations in Iran. The options reportedly include sending ground forces to seize Iranian islands near Hormuz, such as Kharg, which handles 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. The other option being mulled is the potential bombing of the Pickaxe Mountain, something that Trump has publicly talked about as well. This highly fortified site is located 220 kilometres south of Tehran, and very close to the nuclear complex in Natanz, which was bombed during last year's 12-day war. As per reports, it contains two tunnel complexes buried deep underground, which makes it difficult to destroy. The US reportedly suspects Iran of trying to build a secret uranium enrichment facility here. It is worth noting that Tehran and Washington have been at loggerheads over how to deal with Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium. When asked about a potential US ground invasion, Iran issued a stern warning to America. It also urged the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, to condemn US strikes on the under-construction Darkhovin nuclear power plant in south-west Iran. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, "They will see the consequences. I think there are people in those regions (southern Iran), and their number is not small, and they are looking forward to welcoming those guys (US troops)." With both sides keeping the diplomatic option open, is a temporary halt in hostilities in the offing? Or are the differences too difficult to breach? America and Iran's future course of action will be closely watched.

In response, Iran retaliated by striking Syria once again. IRGC claimed to have struck the special operations command centre in the Al-Tanf region. It also targeted US military aircraft stationed at Jordan's Aqaba airport with ballistic missiles, reportedly causing damage to several jets.

West Asia remains on edge as the United States conducted strikes on Iran for the ninth consecutive evening, followed by fierce retaliation from Tehran. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that his country was fighting a full-scale war with the US, even as both sides hinted at pursuing talks as well. In a fresh escalation, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis announced a maritime embargo of Saudi Arabia. Last week, hostilities between the two sides escalated after Houthis accused Riyadh of launching air strikes against the international airport in Sanaa. In retaliation, the Houthis fired missiles at the international airport in Saudi Arabia's Abha. A closure of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by the Houthis will imply a new threat to energy supplies, as nearly 7 per cent of global crude oil transits this narrow corridor. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said, "First, the Yemeni armed forces declare a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of 'An eye for an eye,' effective immediately upon the issuance of this statement." A few hours earlier, CENTCOM conducted air strikes on Iran to diminish its ability to attack vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The US claimed to have targeted Iranian military command centres, air defence and coastal surveillance sites, and communication networks. As per US President Donald Trump, these strikes were carried out in honour of the US military personnel killed in recent days. As of now, the death toll of confirmed American fatalities in the Iran war is 17. Subsequently, Iran retaliated by striking Syria once again. IRGC claimed to have struck the special operations command centre in the Al-Tanf region. It also targeted US military aircraft stationed at Jordan's Aqaba airport with ballistic missiles, reportedly causing damage to several jets. Iran attacks MQ-9 drone hangar Kuwait too bore the brunt of multiple attacks. Iran not only claimed to have destroyed an early-warning radar system but also struck an MQ-9 drone hangar at the Ali Al Salem air base, reportedly setting several drones on fire. Explosions were heard in Manama too. As per local authorities, Iranian drones targeted Bahrain's civil air navigation systems. This is not all. Iran claimed to have shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone over the city of Ahvaz. Footage released by IRGC of its attacks on West Asia showed missiles bearing this message: "Anyone who destabilises the security of the Iranian people will not themselves be safe either". Meanwhile, air raid sirens sounded in Kuwait City, as residents and visitors continued moving through the area. Kuwait's military stated that it was responding to a fresh round of missiles and drones unleashed by Iran. Iran also announced that two oil tankers which attempted to enter and exit the Strait of Hormuz through an unsafe route exploded and were brought to a halt. IRGC has warned that this strategic waterway will remain unsafe for transit for even a single drop of oil and gas, as long as America's aggression continues. At the same time, Iran revealed that diplomatic exchanges with the US via mediators were ongoing. As per Reuters, mediators have proposed a ten-day cessation of strikes to revive the MOU signed by Iran and the US. Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, "Proposals have been put forward and conveyed to us by the mediators. We have received them, but please excuse me from going into their details. However, the main point that the diplomatic apparatus has been active and that ideas from some mediators have reached us is confirmed." Also read: In a 'full-scale war' with United States, says Iran's Pezeshkian amid US strikes A day earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also showed America's willingness for a diplomatic settlement, even as he called upon other countries to join efforts to protect the safety of vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Now, are the latest US attacks a precursor to a possible ground invasion? As per reports, Trump is leaning towards further expanding US military operations in Iran. The options reportedly include sending ground forces to seize Iranian islands near Hormuz, such as Kharg, which handles 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. The other option being mulled is the potential bombing of the Pickaxe Mountain, something that Trump has publicly talked about as well. This highly fortified site is located 220 kilometres south of Tehran, and very close to the nuclear complex in Natanz, which was bombed during last year's 12-day war. As per reports, it contains two tunnel complexes buried deep underground, which makes it difficult to destroy.

US President Donald Trump stated on Monday (July 20, 2026) that Iran would face severe repercussions, “many times over”, for any American troops killed as tensions continue in the Middle East. His remarks came as US airstrikes persisted against Iran, concentrated mainly in the southern Iran region. In response, Tehran launched strikes targeting facilities and bases in several countries in the region that it claims are being used by American forces. “Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over”, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military,” he added. According to the Pentagon, three US service members died over the weekend, two at a base in Jordan and one in northern Iraq.

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran called the early Sunday strike "aggressive and brutal" and labeled it terrorism + a violation of international law.
Is this the next major escalation in the US-Iran conflict?

US-Iran war: 'US hit our nuclear plant' Iran makes explosive claim amid war 

The US has quietly agreed to let Saudi Arabia enrich its own uranium — without the strict UN checks normally used to stop countries from secretly building nuclear weapons. The deal was finished back in October 2025, but Trump still hasn't signed it. Part of the holdup: he's been bombing Iran for doing the exact same thing. If approved, Saudi Arabia would get nuclear rights similar to Iran's, raising fears about where this material could end up.

The fragile peace in West Asia has shattered. Following the collapse of the June memorandum of understanding, the U.S. and Iran have spiraled back into open conflict. With seven consecutive nights of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iranian infrastructure and retaliatory Iranian missile barrages hitting Kuwait, Jordan, and Qatar, the region is facing its most dangerous escalation yet.

US President Donald Trump has waded into the debate over Thomas Tuchel's tactics after England's 2-1 World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina in Atlanta. Speaking at a FIFA reception in New York on Friday (Jul 17), Trump questioned the decision to push Harry Kane into a deeper, more defensive role, suggesting it "perhaps" was a mistake to turn the striker into a defensive player. Tuchel had switched to a back five after Anthony Gordon's 55th-minute strike put England ahead, but Argentina struck twice late through Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez to complete the comeback and set up a final against Spain set for Sunday (Jul 19).<h2>What Trump said about England coach Tuchel?</h2>"You have a great player in England who I've played golf with. And he is Harry [Kane] who has been fantastic," said Trump. "I think they perhaps made a mistake when they made him a defensive player. What do I know about soccer? They took the lead, and they took their best player and put him on defence. We got to be a little offensive, right. But no, I'm not going to call it, what do I know about coaching? But that was a little unusual."
