In a recent interview with Time Magazine, President Donald Trump stated that the United States would "lead the pack" in military action against Iran if ongoing negotiations regarding Tehran's nuclear program fail to yield a new agreement. Trump expressed optimism about reaching a deal and indicated he would be open to meeting Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or President Masoud Pezeshkian. The comments come as talks continue, with a third round scheduled in Oman, following a positive but detail-less meeting in Rome. While Trump denied blocking Israel from attacking Iran, he emphasized his preference for a diplomatic resolution over military action. He reiterated that if a deal is not reached, he would be ready to take decisive action, asserting, "If we don't make a deal, I'll be leading the pack." This stance follows Trump's 2018 decision to withdraw from the nuclear agreement established under former President Barack Obama. 
Published: Apr 25 2025, 10 pmeznews.inUS President Donald Trump stated that India and Pakistan must resolve their own tensions following a deadly terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which claimed the lives of 26 people, marking one of the worst incidents in nearly two decades. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump acknowledged the historical conflicts between the two nations but refrained from indicating whether he would reach out to their leaders. The attack has exacerbated already strained relations, with India accusing Pakistan of involvement—a claim Islamabad denies. In the aftermath, India has suspended a key water-sharing agreement, while Pakistan has closed its airspace to Indian airlines, further jeopardizing trade between the two countries. Indian stock markets experienced volatility amid fears of escalating tensions, although they later recovered some losses as authorities intensified their search for the attackers. 
Published: Apr 26 2025, 12 ameznews.inU.S. President Donald Trump expressed his disappointment on Friday regarding Ukraine's delay in signing a crucial deal on rare earth minerals with the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump noted that the agreement, which is at least three weeks overdue, has yet to be finalized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He urged for the deal to be signed "IMMEDIATELY," emphasizing its importance. Despite this setback, Trump indicated that negotiations surrounding a broader peace deal between Russia and Ukraine are progressing smoothly. The rare earth minerals deal is seen as significant for both nations, particularly in the context of geopolitical tensions and energy security. 
Published: Apr 26 2025, 12 ameznews.inFBI Director Kash Patel has faced backlash after prematurely posting on social media about the arrest of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who is accused of obstructing federal agents during an immigration operation involving an undocumented migrant. The Trump administration claims Dugan "intentionally misdirected" agents, escalating tensions between the government and judiciary as President Trump's hardline immigration policies come under scrutiny. Patel's post, which he deleted within minutes, stated that Dugan's actions endangered public safety, while the migrant was apprehended shortly after. The situation reflects a broader conflict, as judges across the U.S. have challenged Trump's executive orders on deportations, with activists arguing that his administration is violating constitutional rights by hastily removing migrants without due process. Trump has publicly dismissed the necessity of court hearings for all migrants, asserting that many are dangerous criminals. 
Published: Apr 25 2025, 11 pmeznews.inUS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard expressed solidarity with India following a deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, that left 26 people dead, including a foreign national. In a message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gabbard condemned the "horrific Islamist terrorist attack" and assured full American support as India seeks to hold those responsible accountable. The attack, which targeted individuals based on their religious identity, has been linked to Pakistan-based terrorists, specifically the Resistance Front, a group associated with the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba. In response, India has vowed to pursue terrorists "to the ends of the world," prompting Pakistan to heighten military alertness. Global leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin, condemned the violence and expressed support for India's efforts to combat terrorism, while nations across the Islamic world also voiced their solidarity with India. 
Published: Apr 25 2025, 9 pmeznews.inA new lifestyle trend known as "grandmacore" is gaining traction among Gen Z and millennials, who are increasingly gravitating towards nostalgic, slow-paced activities traditionally associated with grandmothers, such as knitting, baking, and gardening.

Users across social media platforms are sharing their experiences using the grandmacore hashtag, reflecting a desire to escape the relentless pace of modern life.

Published: Apr 25 2025, 10 pmeznews.inThe Trump administration has reversed its decision to terminate the student visa registrations of thousands of foreign students, a move prompted by extensive legal pressure, including over 100 lawsuits and more than 50 restraining orders from judges. The terminations, which were based on minor infractions, had caused widespread panic among students, many of whom feared deportation and disruption to their studies, especially those nearing graduation. Announced in federal court, the administration stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is formulating a new policy regarding foreign students on F-1 visas, ensuring that no records will be terminated solely due to minor criminal history checks. However, it remains uncertain if the State Department will similarly reinstate the visas of affected students, as some had previously been canceled due to pro-Palestinian activism. The decision offers relief to many students who faced an uncertain future in the U.S. amidst fears of losing their legal status.

Published: Apr 25 2025, 8 pmeznews.inChina has exempted certain US imports from its recently imposed steep tariffs, indicating a potential easing of the ongoing trade war, although it refuted President Donald Trump's claims of active negotiations. Business groups reported that US-made pharmaceuticals can now enter China without the hefty 125% duties, which were introduced following Trump's own 145% tariffs. A circulating list of 131 product categories, including vaccines and chemicals, is under consideration for exemptions, but China has yet to confirm this publicly. While Trump suggested that talks are ongoing, the Chinese Embassy in Washington denied any negotiations. Amidst these tensions, Trump has also announced targeted tariffs on various countries, which are suspended until July 9, prompting a rush for trade deals. Despite Trump's assertion of a potential "total victory" if tariffs remain high, economists warn that such measures could lead to increased consumer prices and recession risks. Meanwhile, global markets reacted positively to the developments.
