New Delhi (DSLA): The U.S. Trade Act of 1974 remains one of the most influential trade statutes in American legal history. Through this statute, the United States gets a legal framework to negotiate trade agreements, protect domestic industries, support workers affected by imports, grant trade preferences to developing countries, and act against foreign trade practices that Washington considers unfair.

Moscow needs Iran because Iranian-designed Shahed/Geran drones have become central to its war against Ukraine. At the same time, Tehran’s drone and missile pressure has threatened Gulf states that Russia cultivated for capital, oil coordination and diplomatic influence.

New Delhi (ABC Live): China–Taiwan relations have become one of the most sensitive fault lines in the fractured world order. The dispute is not only about territory, democracy, military power, or U.S.–China rivalry.
