US President Donald Trump has announced 25% tariffs on imports from Japan and South Korea, calling their trade ties with the US “far from reciprocal.” In letters sent Monday, Trump warned, “If policy changes are not made, tariffs will apply from August 1.” He said the US is ready to “modify levies downwards” if both nations adjust their trade policies. Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba responded, “I won’t easily compromise.” Trump had earlier warned countries aligning with “anti-American policies” of more tariffs. Talks are ongoing, but few deals have been reached so far, with time running out before deadlines. (PC: Reuters)

US President Donald Trump has eased his threat of a 10% tariff on BRICS nations. He said the tariff will apply only if countries follow “anti-American” policies. India and Indonesia are now working on trade deals with the US before the July 9 deadline. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social on Sunday night. A source said, “If policy decisions are made that are anti-American, then the tariff will be charged.” BRICS members have denied being against the US. India sees this as a relief, as it may avoid higher duties if talks go well before the deadline. (PC: India Today)

The Pakistan Navy is facing a big crisis after Operation Sindoor. Most warships are stuck at the Karachi base due to poor maintenance and missing spare parts. Only two submarines are working. Young officers lack sea training as ships stay in port. Old British frigates need costly repairs, and newer Chinese ships have tech problems. Different ship types from many countries make repairs harder. Pakistan has also cut down on military exercises. Meanwhile, India has increased patrols in the Arabian Sea. Experts warn this weak naval state hurts Pakistan’s security and its role in protecting Chinese investments like Gwadar Port. (PC: Asif HASSAN/AFP/File)
