President Trump has announced a significant escalation in trade tensions with India, signing an order to double tariffs to 50 percent in response to India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The move has drawn sharp criticism from India's foreign ministry, which emphasized the country's energy needs. Trump also threatened similar penalties for other nations buying Russian energy and is pushing for new investments from technology companies to avoid further tariffs. Meanwhile, Trump plans to meet with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an effort to negotiate an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine, though it remains unclear if both leaders have agreed to the talks. In other news, China is reportedly using artificial intelligence to influence public opinion in Hong Kong and Taiwan, raising concerns about increasingly sophisticated information warfare.
