The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to revoke temporary legal status for approximately 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s invasion, potentially putting them at risk of deportation. According to Reuters, citing a senior Trump official and three sources, the move could take effect as early as April. This marks a stark reversal from the Biden administration’s welcoming stance. The rollback is part of a broader effort to strip legal protections from over 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs. The policy shift was already in motion before Trump’s recent public clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  

US President Donald Trump has said his administration is “reclaiming” the Panama Canal after a US-led group bought stakes in a key port. The Panama President, Jose Raul Mulino, called Trump’s statement false. “Once again, President Trump is lying,” Mulino wrote on X, rejecting the claim. Trump said the US has “already started” taking back the canal, built by the US and handed to Panama in 1999. He has accused China of controlling it. The $19 billion deal involves BlackRock buying shares from a Hong Kong firm. Panama insists it remains in full control of the canal.

Despite the cordial relationship between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and  U.S. President Donald Trump, experts suggest that the "Modi-Trump bonhomie" does little to change India's position on the global stage. Trump’s focus remains on isolationism, prioritizing America's interests over foreign alliances. While he may project an image of strong leadership in foreign affairs, his policies are centered on asserting U.S. dominance rather than fostering deep international friendships. This strategic approach, analysts argue, will not benefit India in the long run, especially in terms of broader global diplomacy.
