Global events/updates
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin exchanged a warm hug and handshake during their meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in China.
U.S. President Donald Trump defended his tariff policies on Truth Social, claiming they saved the country from economic and military collapse. His remarks follow a major setback as a federal appeals court ruled that most tariffs imposed during his tenure were unlawful.
In a decision, the judges said Trump exceeded his authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), emphasizing that the power to impose tariffs lies primarily with Congress, not the executive.
While the court rejected Trump’s legal rationale, it permitted the tariffs to stay in effect until October 14, providing the administration an opportunity to appeal to the US Supreme Court.
