US President Donald Trump, in his anti-abortion campaign, has now barred abortion for military veterans. As per the new ruling by the Trump administration, doctors at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will not perform abortions even in cases of rape and incest. The draft regulations, which also forbid providers from counseling female veterans about terminating a pregnancy, have generated nearly 20,000 comments in the federal register from conservative activists, abortion rights supporters, and female veterans, many of them survivors of sexual assault.

But the rule has an exception. Abortions can take place “when a physician certifies that the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term." However, abortion rights experts said that exceptions in such cases are very limited.
Caitlin Russell, a former US Army captain who served two tours in Afghanistan and studies female veterans’ health at the University of Pennsylvania, told The Guardian, “Women are going to die."

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Friday (August 30) that US President Donald Trump would not be spending $4.9 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid. The move is known as a “pocket rescission” and is very rare. It is a request to Congress for the president not to spend appropriated funds towards the end of the fiscal year, which ends on 30 September.
America's 50% tariff on India was due to Trump's 'personal' enmity?
US President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariff imposition on India was a result of his “personal pique" at not being allowed to mediate in the India-Pakistan conflict, American multinational investment bank and financial services company Jefferies said in a recent report. The American multinational investment bank and financial services company Jefferies claimed that US imposed tariffs on India because Trump was not allowed to mediate in the India-Pakistan conflict.
The report further added, “tariffs are primarily the consequence of the American president’s “personal pique" that he was not allowed to play a role in seeking to end the long running acrimony between India and Pakistan".
