In an effort to put pressure on Russia to halt its war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump has called for the European Union to impose 100% tariffs on China and India. In a virtual conference with U.S. and EU officials, Trump made the idea and said the U.S. would only take action if Europe joined. China and India are prime targets since they purchase a significant amount of Russian oil. Citing similar concerns, Trump increased duties on Indian goods to 50% last month. Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "very good friend" and voiced confidence about trade negotiations with him despite the concerns. Modi gave a positive response, highlighting the possibilities of the alliance between the United States and India. The demand for tariffs gives geopolitical strategy and international trade a new dimension. Read More..

In order to optimise content creation for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, Google has updated its Veo 3 AI video model to enable vertical clips and 1080p resolution.
