President Trump has sharply escalated trade tensions with India by announcing a doubling of tariffs on Indian imports, citing India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The move marks a significant shift in relations between the two countries, which had previously enjoyed a period of cooperation. India responded by calling the tariffs 'extremely unfortunate' and defending its energy policy. In related developments, Trump said he plans to meet with both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky in an effort to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, with European leaders tentatively accepting his proposal. The day also saw a range of other news, including revelations about China's use of artificial intelligence for influence campaigns, ongoing safety concerns at Uber, and cultural milestones such as the anniversary of 'Hamilton' on Broadway and Lindsey Vonn's comeback in skiing.
