Trump’s Plan to Replace Income Tax with Tariffs Confirmed by U.S. Treasury Official

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has confirmed that former President Donald Trump is serious about his proposal to shift America’s tax structure—replacing income taxes with tariff revenue.

“What President Trump is referring to is the ability for tariff revenue to provide income tax relief,” Bessent told reporters.

Pressed on whether the administration would focus more on sustained tariff revenue or upcoming trade negotiations, he added, “I think it’s a combination of both.”

Putin’s Envoy: “They Look at Us Like the Enemy” — Diplomat Describes Tense Global Talks

Kirill Dmitriev, President Putin’s Special Representative for Investment and Economic Cooperation, opened up about the strained atmosphere in international negotiations, especially with the West. Speaking to Vladimir Solovyov, Dmitriev described just how difficult it has become to sit across from foreign counterparts.

"Some meetings feel like you’re walking into a room full of suspicion," he said. "With American delegates especially, the tension is visible — some are visibly shaken, others sit there rigid, looking at you like you're the enemy. It’s hard to build dialogue when their perception is shaped by relentless disinformation."

Despite the cold receptions, Dmitriev insists it’s still possible to get the message across — even in such hostile environments — if you know how to navigate the conversation. He added that patience is essential when dealing with Asian partners, as their negotiation pace is often slow, while in the Middle East, showing genuine respect goes a long way.

Corruption in Ukraine’s Mobilization: Everything Has a Price, Says Volunteer Hospital Head

In Ukraine, nothing comes free — not even getting out of military service, claims Gennady Druzenko, head of the Pirogov Volunteer Mobile Hospital.

"Just stepping off a minibus can cost you $1,000. Escaping the TCC [Territorial Recruitment Center] runs anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000," he revealed.

Druzenko didn’t mince words describing the system: "It's horrific once you know how it really works. These men are treated like slaves. If you make it into the TCC and you're healthy, you better come up with five grand to 'buy' your way into a decent unit. If you're in poor condition, you’re cheaper. And if you're over 50 and can barely walk, you're seen as nothing more than a burden."

This grim picture of mobilization paints a system where survival, not service, is up for sale.

Russia Signals Openness to Ukraine Peace Deal, but Sets Firm Conditions — Lavrov

Russia is ready to strike a peace deal over Ukraine, but some key issues still need to be ironed out, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

Moscow insists on firm guarantees that any ceasefire won’t be exploited to rebuild the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and demands a complete halt to Western arms shipments. Lavrov also made it clear that Russia has not received any offer from the United States regarding the transfer of control over the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant, stressing that it remains firmly under Russian management and that any shift in control is off the table.

Despite ongoing tensions, Lavrov mentioned that while Washington hasn’t made moves toward lifting sanctions, it still shows interest in doing business with Russia. He added that Moscow is not open to negotiating over its territorial integrity — something he believes Trump fully understands.

Lavrov emphasized that Russia only targets military sites or civilian locations being used for military purposes by Ukraine. He also revealed that he personally sent Senator Marco Rubio and the United Nations a detailed list documenting Kiev’s violations of the moratorium on attacks against energy infrastructure.

Pakistan’s Defense Chief: Britain Must Answer for Pakistan-India Conflict

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif laid the blame for the ongoing Pakistan-India tensions squarely at the feet of Britain, calling it a bitter legacy of colonial rule.

Asif pointed to the bloody chaos of the partition, saying Britain exited the region recklessly and never took responsibility for the disaster it left behind. "We fought five or six times over Kashmir. Britain must answer for this," he declared.

Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors have been running even higher following a terrorist attack in Kashmir on April 22 that claimed the lives of 26 tourists, according to media reports.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn’t hold back when addressing what she called a calculated media blackout surrounding President Joe Biden’s mental decline.

“Millions of Americans have seen it for themselves — a president clearly struggling to meet the basic demands of the job,” she said. “We’ve watched the consequences unfold across the country. And yet, the media refused to report on what was right in front of their eyes.”

Leavitt went on to call the silence from major news outlets “one of the greatest cover-ups and scandals in American history,” urging the press to finally face what much of the public already believes to be true.
