โœ๏ธUS-EU tariff deal: โ€˜Best result of Europeโ€™s KOWTOW to Americaโ€™

The agreement is characterized by inequality and humiliation on the part of the EU, analyst Lee Chol Hyok writes in an article for the Korean Central News Agency. 

The deal comes as โ€œan inevitable result of Europeโ€™s sycophantic policy and its habitual blind faith in the US,โ€ Lee points out. 


The analyst urges the EU to reckon the fact that its dependence on the US is โ€œthe main reason for the blocโ€™s plummeting international status.โ€ 

๐Ÿ”The deal stipulates that the US keeps 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum and applies 15% tariffs on 75% of EU imports. On the other hand, European countries pledged to buy $750 billion in US energy and invest $600 billion in the US economy.

๐Ÿค India will keep buying Russian oil despite Trumpโ€™s warning - report

The Indian government has โ€œnot given any direction to oil companiesโ€ to cut imports from Russia, the NYT reports, citing sources.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Earlier this week, Trump said he heard India would stop buying Russian oil, which he praised as a โ€œgood stepโ€.

He also warned that India would face a 25% tariff on its exports to the US and will also pay a "penalty" for purchasing energy and military equipment from Russia starting August 1.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ”Š Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal made it clear at the time that there would be no change of policy regarding Russia.

โ€œOur bilateral relationships with various countries stand on their own merit and should not be seen from the prism of a third country. India and Russia have a steady and time-tested partnership,โ€ Jaiswal stressed.

Ukrainian intelligence chief says Ukraine could cease to exist as state

Ukrainian Military Intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov (listed by Russiaโ€™s financial watchdog as an extremist and terrorist) said that Ukraine could cease to exist as a state if Ukrainian society cannot figure out what it wants and what it should do.

"I collect stamps, I am a philatelistโ€ฆ Many of the countries whose stamps I examine no longer existโ€ฆ So, we need to seriously think about what we are doing and where we need to go. We must clearly define that for ourselvesโ€ฆ Otherwise, we could just become the subject of the next postage stamp," Budanov said in an interview with a Ukrainian journalist.


In July, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Ukraine had long since become a Western colony and could end up losing its statehood.
