An Indian-American student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), identified as Megha Vemuri, delivered a speech supporting Palestine on graduation day. &nbsp;Wearing a red keffiyeh, a scarf that shows support for Palestine, she addressed to fellow graduates, families, and faculty, saying, “You showed the world that MIT wants a free Palestine.” She criticised MIT’s links with the Israeli military, calling it a serious concern. &nbsp;“As scientists, engineers, academics, and leaders, we have a commitment to support life, support aid efforts, call for an arms embargo, and keep demanding now, as alumni, that MIT cuts the ties,” she said. &nbsp;Vemuri's speech comes at a time when Trump administration has tightened its visa rules and launched a crackdown on those promoting anti-semitism, groups like Hamas and even China.<h2>Vemuri's speech</h2>“The Israeli occupation forces are the only foreign military that MIT has research ties with; this means that Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people is not only aided and abetted by our country, but our school,” Vemuri said. She also added, “We are watching Israel try to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth, and it is a shame that MIT is a part of it.” &nbsp;Vemuri further praised students who have stood up in support of Palestine. &nbsp;“Last spring, MIT's undergraduate body and Graduate Student Union voted overwhelmingly to cut ties with the genocidal Israeli military. You called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and you stood in solidarity with the pro-Palestine activists on campus," She said, praising students for standing their ground despite facing “threat, intimidation, and suppression coming from all directions, especially your university officials."

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">MIT’s class president, Megha Vemuri, spent her graduation speech bashing Israel.

She compared the situation of MIT graduates with students in Gaza: “While we prepare to graduate and move forward with our lives, there are no universities left in Gaza.” At the end of her speech, Vemuri asked her classmates to turn their class rings outward, a tradition that represents graduates stepping into the world.&nbsp;She ended her speech saying, “We carry with us the obligation to do everything we can to stop it.”&nbsp;

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, leading an Indian delegation in Colombia, expressed his disappointments over the host country's supportive statement on Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. Tharoor is in Colombia as part of Indian government's global outreach to expose Pakistan based terror after Operation Sindoor. &nbsp;"We were a little disappointed in the reaction of the Colombian government, which apparently expressed heartfelt condolences on the loss of lives in Pakistan after the Indian strikes, rather than sympathising with the victims of terrorism. We will say to our friends in Colombia, there can be no equivalance between those who dispatch terrorists and those who resist them," he said.Tharoor also reiterated that New Delhi exercised the right of self-defence and has concrete proof against Pakistan-sponsored terror. &nbsp;"We are only exercising our right of self-defence. We're very happy to talk to Colombia in some detail about the circumstances. Just as Colombia has endured many terror attacks, so have we in India. We have endured a very large number of attacks for almost four decades, " he said. &nbsp;He also spoke about China Pakistan ties. "During the conference, when asked about Pakistan’s defence equipment, he said: “We are quite conscious that China supplies 81 per cent of all Pakistani defence equipment. Defence is a polite word, Pakistani military equipment. Much of it is not for defence but for attack. Every sovereign country has the right to do that.”&nbsp; “The single largest project in China’s Belt and Road Initiative is in Pakistan, the so-called China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is a highway corridor connecting China to a port in southwestern Pakistan that permits goods to be transported relatively quickly and economically to western China. We are aware of that, and our concern is not with the rights of the Pakistani people to pursue development. Of course, they may do so, including with the partnership with China,” he added. &nbsp;India conducted Operation Sindoor hitting terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, killing 100 terrorists. India's action was in response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22 in which 26 people were killed. Pakistan launched drone attack on civilian and military posts in bordering states after which India's retaliatory action destroyed its airbases. &nbsp;Shashi Tharoor led delegation includes Sarfraz Ahmad (Jharkhand Mukti Morcha), G M Harish Balayogi (Telugu Desam Party), Shashank Mani Tripathi (BJP), Bhubaneswar Kalita (BJP), Milind Deora (Shiv Sena), Tejasvi Surya (BJP), and former ambassador of India to US Taranjit Singh Sandhu.&nbsp;

According to the reports which were released in the Indian media, three Indians have travelled to Iran at the encouragement of an agent. We are not aware of what really happened to them, but we, as Iranian authorities, are trying to follow up on the issue. The Iranian foreign ministry is in close contact with the embassy of India in Tehran. We follow to reach the conclusion and send these three Indian nationals safely to India. We try to find and solve the issue and send them back. Law enforcement of Iran is following the issue, it is under investigation. WION: We saw a deadly terror attack in India in Pahalgam. We saw the Iranian support as well. What do you have to say about the support, which was extended by Iran, to India? Dr Iraj Elahi: India is a close friend and neighbour to Iran.

The independent board of Ben &amp; Jerry's said the conflict in Gaza is a genocide, escalating a bitter feud between the ice cream maker and its longtime London-based corporate parent Unilever.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Ben &amp; Jerry's believes in human rights and advocates for peace, and we join with those around the world who denounce the genocide in Gaza," the board said in a statement viewed by Reuters. “We stand with all who raise their voices against genocide in Gaza - from petition-signers to street marchers to those risking arrest.”&nbsp;This comes after Ben &amp; Jerry Founder Ben Cohen was arrested from the US Senate for saying, 'they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US'.

Unilever and Ben &amp; Jerry's have been at odds since at least 2021 when the Chubby Hubby ice cream maker said it would stop selling in the Israel-occupied West Bank. Ben &amp; Jerry's&nbsp;sued its owner last year over its alleged attempts to silence it on Gaza and criticize US President Donald Trump. Its statement on Gaza is unusual for a major US brand.A Unilever spokesperson said that the comments reflect the views of the independent social mission board of Ben &amp; Jerry's, and they do not speak for anyone other than themselves.&nbsp;"We call for peace in the region and for relief for all those whose lives have been impacted," the spokesperson said.&nbsp;Unilever asked a US judge to dismiss Ben &amp; Jerry's lawsuit. The company is also in the process of separating out its ice cream business, including Vermont-based Ben &amp; Jerry's, to an independent company this summer.&nbsp;Ben &amp; Jerry's has said its year 2000 merger agreement with Unilever gave its independent board "primary responsibility" to pursue the company's social mission. The crux of the dispute between Ben &amp; Jerry’s and Unilever is how much leeway the board actually has.

The independent board of Ben & Jerry's said the conflict in Gaza is a genocide, escalating a bitter feud between the ice cream maker and its longtime London-based corporate parent Unilever.

The Denmark Ambassador Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen has said that his country "stands with India in its fight against terrorism", key comments in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack of last month. The comments come days after EAM Dr S Jaishankar was on the visit to the country. Speaking to WION's Sidhant Sibal on the Pahalgam terror attack, Ambassador Kristensen said, 'We condemn terrorism. It was a brutal terror attack. We reacted strongly".&nbsp;The Pahalgam terror attack occurred on April 22, 2025, in the Baisaran meadow and was the deadliest attack in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack. The attack was carried out by terrorists linked to The Resistance Front (TRF), an offshoot of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Three suspects, including Adil Hussain Thoker from Anantnag and two Pakistani nationals, Ali Bhai (aka Talha Bhai) and Hashim Musa (aka Suleiman), were identified, with a ₹20 lakh bounty announced for information leading to their capture.&nbsp;Denmark is also a non permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The ambassador said that Copenhagen is a "full supporter of India becoming a permanent member of UNSC. Need to reform the multilateral system". He also spoke on growing ties &amp; cooperation in the field of energy, water, maritime affairs &amp; water conversation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Full interview:&nbsp;Sidhant Sibal: How do you see the relationship between India &amp; Denmark? EAM Dr S Jaishankar had travelled to your country recently.. Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen: Denmark and India today have a very strong relationship. Back in 2021 we established a strategic partnership. Of course, India has strategic partnerships with other countries, but I think what makes our strategic partnership unique is that it is green. So it was the first green strategic partnership between India and another country, and it also gives you an indication of what we actually cooperate on. So not only do we have good, cordial relations as two countries, but it is backed up by very, very concrete cooperation in a number of core areas, like energy, water, maritime affairs, but also healthcare, food and agriculture. So the visit of Dr S Jaishankar last week, only further underlined not only the strength of our bilateral relationship, but also the interest of both the Danish and the Indian side in doubling down on some of these cooperation areas which is of huge importance to both countries.&nbsp;Sidhant Sibal: The visit of the Indian External Affairs Minister came at a time when India was reeling under a terror attack, the Pahalgam terror attack, which happened last month. Now, what has been Denmark's position.. Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen: Well, the Danish Prime Minister and the Danish Foreign Minister were among the first foreign leaders to express their condemnation of the terror attack that happened in India. We condemn terrorism in any kind, any form, anywhere in the world, and this was indeed a truly brutal and horrific terror attack. Our political leaders, of course, sympathize with the Indian Government and people and their condolences for the lives that were lost, so Denmark, in that sense, reacted strongly against terrorism. And in essence, we fully stand with India in its fight against terrorism.&nbsp;Sidhant Sibal: When it comes to the relationship, one thing that has stood out is your support when it comes to water management. How are you helping India in terms of water management, because your country has taken a global lead, and in your country, there are so many examples of how to judiciously use water Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen: This is a challenge for both our countries. So although Denmark has good, strong experience for the past 30 years in efficient water management, we are, just like India, increasingly, facing problems of water scarcity, of drought, we will also face increasing problems of floods, and, you know, extreme precipitation, all a result of climate change. So in that sense, it makes perfect sense for Denmark and India to cooperate. And we do have some very, very strong cooperation with India on water. I think we are probably India's main partner when it comes to water, we're the only country partner. But we also cooperate in a number of other areas, whether it's wastewater treatment plants, whether it's water supply reducing leakage, or river rejuvenation. So Denmark is a partner to India in the whole water cycle. We not only cooperate with the central government in Delhi, but also in many of the states at local level.&nbsp;Sidhant Sibal: Denmark is also a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. India has been engaging with you as well. But talking about your key priorities as a non permanent member of the UN SC at a time when the world is going through a lot of conflicts, a lot of issues, there's a reform question as well, which India has been pushing as well. So what are the key priorities for Denmark? Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen: We have a number more specific priorities relating to the UN system, but I would like to maybe say a few more words about what you mentioned on reforming the multilateral system, because this is also a Danish priority, and I want to make sure you understand that Denmark is a full supporter of India's wish to also become a permanent member of a reformed Security Council. This has been a long standing Danish position. It's a position we still have. And we do find that with a current, let's say, turmoil we witness internationally, the shift we're seeing in international relations, there is a need to reform the multilateral system, to make it more efficient, to work better, to the benefit of everybody, and we hope that India will also play a key role in that process&nbsp;Sidhant Sibal: and priorities... Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen: To make the multilateral system more efficient and manage some of the conflicts that we're currently seeing. Then we have some more specific priorities, on women and peacekeeping and so on, so forth. But, but I think the key point that we should all reflect on now is to ensure that the multilateral system keeps on working efficiently.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The first time Donald Trump assured the world that he could end Russia’s devastating all-out war on Ukraine in a day was on March 5, 2023, when he was campaigning for re-election to a second term. “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, I will have the war settled. It will take no longer than one day,” he told a cheering crowd.The one-day solution promise to end a war, which at the time had just entered its second year, became a routine part of speeches in a campaign he won in 2024. Trump stressed that he based his prediction on good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. US military experts and diplomats familiar with Russia scoffed at the claim. America’s European allies shrugged it off as campaign hyperbole.The biggest military conflict in Europe since the end of World War II continued without a halt. Ceasefire negotiations failed. &nbsp;It took Trump 812 days from his first one-day promise to admit that he had misjudged his influence on Putin. After voicing frustration in a series of social media statements, he wrote on May 25: “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY, needlessly killing a lot of people as missiles and drones are being shot into cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever.” &nbsp;That followed what the Ukrainian government described as the biggest Russian drone attack since the start of the war in 2022.

The first time Donald Trump assured the world that he could end Russia’s devastating all-out war on Ukraine in a day was on March 5, 2023, when he was campaigning for re-election to a second term. “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, I will have the war settled. It will take no longer than one day,” he told a cheering crowd. The one-day solution promise to end a war, which at the time had just entered its second year, became a routine part of speeches in a campaign he won in 2024. Trump stressed that he based his prediction on good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. US military experts and diplomats familiar with Russia scoffed at the claim. America’s European allies shrugged it off as campaign hyperbole. The biggest military conflict in Europe since the end of World War II continued without a halt. Ceasefire negotiations failed. It took Trump 812 days from his first one-day promise to admit that he had misjudged his influence on Putin. After voicing frustration in a series of social media statements, he wrote on May 25: “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY, needlessly killing a lot of people as missiles and drones are being shot into cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever.” That followed what the Ukrainian government described as the biggest Russian drone attack since the start of the war in 2022. Overnight, Russia launched 355 drones, following up on 298 the previous night. Just a week before, Trump had a two-hour telephone conversation with Putin to bring about a ceasefire. Putin did not agree, but both he and Trump said Russia and Ukraine would soon start talks towards a future peace.

In a landmark judgement that could reshape the global trade dynamics, a US trade court blocked Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs from going into effect, stating that the US president overstepped authorities. Rejecting all arguments, the Manhattan-based three-judge Court of International Trade ruled that Congress did not delegate "unbounded" powers to the President under International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). It only authorises the president to impose necessary economic sanctions during an emergency "to combat an unusual and extraordinary threat," the bench said.&nbsp;The White House, as per AFP, has been given 10 days to complete the bureaucratic process and halt the tariffs. However, the White House said that the "unelected judges" have no right to weigh in on Trump's handling of the issue. As the judgement changed the track of Trump's tariff game, what drew eyeballs was his administration's bizarre explanations to the court justifying his tariffs.

1. The Trump administration, in their plea, stated that the US was able to stop military actions between India and Pakistan using his trade and tariff - a claim that India's MEA has denied&nbsp;2. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told the court that the “tenuous ceasefire” between India and Paksitan was achieved after "Donald Trump offered to expand trade with the countries in exchange for it."&nbsp;3. Lutnick went on to claim, “If the court pauses President Trump’s tariffs move, then it will lead to both countries resuming their military actions since there will be no condition left to compel them to maintain peace.”&nbsp;4. &nbsp;Trump administration said the court ruling could hamper the security of entire region - “An adverse ruling that constrains presidential power in this case could lead India and Pakistan to question the validity of President Trump’s offer, threatening the security of an entire region and the lives of millions," Lutnick said.&nbsp;5. The Trump administration said that the ruling could have "an adverse ruling would destroy the carefully crafted China trade agreement." Lutnick claimed that it was President Trump’s spiraling tariffs that brought China to "negotiating table."&nbsp;6. Trump administration also said in the court that the ruling could "allow Chinese aggression" and "leave the American people exposed to predatory economic practices"&nbsp;7. Trump's secretary of state Marco Rubio claimed that the ruling could be a threat to national security. "A legal setback would lead to embarrassment of the United States on a global stage” and “would embolden allies and adversaries alike, leading to a dangerous situation globally," he said.&nbsp;

Just as hopes for renewed dialogue between Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the federal government appeared to be gaining momentum — reportedly with encouragement from influential quarters — PTI Chairman Imran Khan has once again chosen mass mobilisation over negotiations.&nbsp;According to sources, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ali Ameen Gandapur had recently informed Khan and senior PTI leaders that a positive signal had been received from the “right quarters” to initiate talks with the federal government. These signals were widely interpreted as an indirect nod from the establishment, which has distanced itself from direct engagement with PTI in recent months.&nbsp;However, when this message was relayed to the incarcerated PTI chief, he reportedly rejected the offer, instructing party leaders to instead prepare for street agitation. Party insiders suggest Khan remains convinced that public pressure remains the most effective lever to force a political breakthrough.&nbsp;This marks the second major breakdown of potential dialogue in recent months. In November last year, a similar effort collapsed when PTI’s leadership, allegedly influenced by former First Lady Bushra Bibi, decided to extend a rally beyond Sangjani to D-Chowk in Islamabad. That move, sources acknowledge, alienated potential mediators and hardened the government’s stance at a time when it was reportedly open to talks.&nbsp;Interestingly, this time, Barrister Gohar had initially conveyed Khan’s approval in principle to respond positively to a public dialogue offer made by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on the floor of the National Assembly. The offer came in the wake of PTI’s rare show of unity with the government and armed forces during recent border tensions with India. Yet, within a week, Khan reversed his position during a meeting with senior party leaders, citing a “misunderstanding” and reiterating that no negotiations would occur unless they were held directly with the establishment.&nbsp;Sources familiar with internal discussions revealed that CM Gandapur had communicated to the PTI leadership that clear signals from influential power brokers encouraged moving forward with government-level talks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Gandapur’s allies believe that such an understanding with the government would implicitly carry the establishment’s endorsement and could pave the way for legal relief for Khan, as well as broader political normalisation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite repeated setbacks, there remains cautious optimism within some PTI circles that dialogue is the only viable path forward. However, with Khan once again betting on street power over negotiation, the stalemate seems far from over.&nbsp;Some believe that the decision to prioritise agitation over talks could cost PTI a crucial opportunity to resolve issues before any adverse decisions are announced in the May 9 cases or the second Toshakhana reference.

Currently, international students make up 27.2% of the student population.&nbsp;"Harvard has been a disaster," . Trump said. “They're taking people from areas of the world that are very radicalized, and we don't want them making trouble in our country.” Earlier, the Donald Trump administration in the US revoked Harvard University's eligibility to admit international students.

It also said that Harvard has not provided details of students involved in terrorist activities and this action against the University holds them “accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus." Post that, Harvard University filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its decision to stop the Ivy League school from enrolling international students.&nbsp;According to the complaint filed in Boston federal court, the university called the White House’s move a “blatant violation” of the First Amendment of the US Constitution, warning it will have an “immediate and devastating effect for Harvard and more than 7,000 visa holders.” “With the stroke of a pen, the government has sought to erase a quarter of Harvard’s student body, international students who contribute significantly to the University and its mission,” Harvard said in its lawsuit. “Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard,” the 389-year-old school added.&nbsp;The university said that it is seeking a temporary restraining order aimed at preventing the Department of Homeland Security from implementing the decision.

Burroughs said, “I want to maintain the status quo,” to allow Harvard to continue hosting international students on visas at this time.

President Donald Trump reacted to his embarrassing nickname, TACO, an acronym for ‘Trump Always Chickens Out’ that has been popular among investors on Wall Street. When confronted by a reporter about the nickname on Wednesday at the White House, he said he never chickened out, instead, he feels he is too tough."I kick out?" At first, he misheard the acronym.The reporter repeated, "chickened out""Oh, isn’t that nice. ‘Chicken out,’ I’ve never heard that," and then followed his explanation why he is too tough even though he did not follow through with tariffs on China and the European Union.&nbsp;“You call that chickening out? Because we have $14 trillion now invested, committed to investing—when Biden didn’t have practically anything; Biden, this country was dying,” said Trump.He said the US is a hot property now, since he took over. Earlier, it was ‘stone-cold dead’, the Saudis told that to Trump.&nbsp;

“We had a country of people that didn’t think it was going to survive, and you ask a nasty question like that,” Trump said while accusing the media of victimising him. He continued his preaching on how his method of negotiation has set the bar higher, which landed them a better deal than Biden ever could have acquired.Trump went on to rebuke the reporter, “Don’t ever say what you said. That’s a nasty question. To me, that’s the nastiest question.”The acronym was first coined by Financial Times columnist Robert Armstrong. He used it to describe the trading practice of loading up stocks when Trump announces the Tariff and then selling when he backtracks on implementing them.&nbsp;Observers on Wall Street believe that Trump's threat of implementing higher tariffs has not provided them any high ground in negotiations. The Trump administration is running out on its “90 deals in 90 days” promise. The wishful thinking that corporations will cave in under the threat of high tariffs has not produced any significant result.

In the latest announcement, Rubio said, "Today, I am announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply to foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected expression in the United States." Key Details: In some instances, foreign officials have taken flagrant censorship actions against US tech companies and US citizens and residents when they have no authority to do so. This visa restriction policy is pursuant to Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which authorises the Secretary of State to render inadmissible any alien whose entry into the Unites States ‘would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States.’ It is unacceptable for foreign officials to issue or threaten arrest warrants on US citizens or US residents for social media posts on American platforms while physically present on US soil. It is similarly unacceptable for foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies or engage in censorship activity that reaches beyond their authority and into the United States. We will not tolerate encroachments upon American sovereignty, especially when such encroachments undermine the exercise of our fundamental right to free speech.

Foreign nationals who censor Americans could face visa restrictions: Here are key details

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has asked for an early election in Bangladesh on Wednesday, placing additional pressure on the interim government led by Prof. Muhammad Yunus.&nbsp;For the past 10 months, this is for the first time that the BNP challenged the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, and disparaged its key initiatives such as the so-called "humanitarian corridor" between Myanmar and Bangladesh.&nbsp;"Excuses are already being made about the national elections. Despite 10 months having passed, the interim government has not declared the election date yet," said Tarique Rahman, the acting chairman of the BNP, speaking at the rally via video link from London.&nbsp;Yunus had previously said that elections would take place in December 2025 but later moved the timeline to February 2026 and later to June 2026.&nbsp;Although Yunus' reforms are ongoing, his banning the Awami League could be the biggest and most far-reaching success for opposition parties like Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Jamaat-e-Islami who went mute under Sheikh Hasina's regime.&nbsp;&nbsp;The BNP is organising countrywide protests, calling for immediate reforms so that the general elections can be conducted. The party is evidently losing its patience as a complete ban on the Awami League gives it an even better chance to get elected after such a long hiatus.&nbsp;India's MEA rejects Yunus's India destabilising Bangladesh claim&nbsp;The ministry of external affairs on Thursday (May 29) dismissed Bangladesh's chief adviser Muhammad Yunus's claims that New Delhi is ‘destabilising’ his country. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that Bangladesh's accusations were an attempt to deflect attention from real issues. &nbsp;"As far as the government there is concerned, the responsibility for law and order and governance issues lies entirely with that government," Jaiswal said. "In such a situation, if someone says that external factors or someone else is to blame for the disturbances, it appears that they are trying to deflect attention from the real issue and shift the blame onto others.

US President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs have been a part of discussions, and now there is even an argument in court. On Wednesday (May 28), the Trump administration urged a New York court against blocking or pausing the tariff order, as they believe it may disrupt the global order, which includes reigniting India-Pakistan tensions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Trump admin's top brass were representing the case in court, viz. Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.&nbsp;Lutnick took the lead to convince the court that Trump's trade acumen and peacemaking efforts were the reason behind the ceasefire between nuclear-armed nations India and Pakistan.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-tariff-on-seals-and-penguins-donald-trump-slams-earths-remotest-region-with-10-per-cent-tax-8919749">Tariff on seals and penguins?

He added, "Since there will be no condition left to compel them to maintain peace.”&nbsp;While Trump believes he brokered peace between neighbouring India and Pakistan, New Delhi has not cemented his claims. Trump may have grabbed the opportunity and become the first one to announce the ceasefire between the South Asian nations, and now his team is arguing in court.&nbsp;A ruling against Trump may question his credibility, Lutnick continued, “An adverse ruling that constrains presidential power in this case could lead India and Pakistan to question the validity of President Trump’s offer, threatening the security of an entire region and the lives of millions.”&nbsp;Though the top officials have pegged their argument around the cross-border tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad, the tariffs have been levied even on Heard and McDonald Islands, Australia's external territory where only penguins live. The last time people visited is believed to be about a decade ago.

As a US federal court blocked the majority of the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, Australia has reiterated its views on the trade duties, calling them “unjustified”.&nbsp;The Australian trade minister, Don Farrell, said that the government will study the ruling “closely”, adding that “they may be subject to further legal processes through the courts.”&nbsp;“We will study this ruling of the US Federal Courts on reciprocal tariffs closely and note that they may be subject to further legal processes through the courts,” he said.&nbsp;Farrell added that the government would push for US tariffs on Australian goods to be dropped entirely.&nbsp;&nbsp;“The Albanese Government has been consistent in the view that these tariffs on Australian imports into the US are unjustified,” Farrell said in a statement. “We will continue to engage and strongly advocate for the removal of tariffs.”&nbsp;“The Albanese Government will always stand up for Australia’s national interests, including Australian jobs and Australian industries,” he said.&nbsp;The Trump administration had announced hefty tariffs on Australia, as with almost all other allies of the United States. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier criticised the move by saying it was “against the spirit of our two nations’ enduring friendship.”&nbsp;Meanwhile, several other countries have also reacted to the US court’s move. New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade said that it was aware of the ruling, but would “wait for more details before commenting further.”&nbsp;Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi also responded to the court’s decision, saying that Tokyo would “carefully examine the details of the ruling and its implications and respond appropriately.”&nbsp;On Wednesday (May 28), a US federal court blocked the majority of the US president’s sweeping tariffs, a decision the White House said “unelected judges” have no right to weigh in on.&nbsp;The US federal court, in its ruling, said that Trump, by igniting a global trade war, has overstepped his constitutional authority with across-the-board levies.
