White House Cancels Trumps Federal Funding Freeze Amid Chaos: Reports

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jan 29, 2025 | top-stories

Washington:

Rafts of government aid programs and the health care system for millions of low-income Americans were up in the air after Trump ordered a halt to potentially trillions of dollars in grants, loans and other aid late Monday.

The move — made in an order from White House’s Office of Management and Budget — sparked instant alarm and confusion, as well as a flurry of lawsuits before a judge issued a temporary injunction.

On Wednesday, the Office of Management and Budget issued a terse notification saying the freezing of aid order had been “rescinded.”

However, soon after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the spending freezes remained in place — and only the memo from the budget office was rescinded.

“This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze” which remains in “full force,” she said on X.

The White House has strongly defended the freeze as a blow against what Trump says is waste and “woke” federal spending programs, and a tool to make sure that every government office supports the Republican’s right-wing political goals.

Democrats accuse Trump of constitutional overreach by seeking to stop spending already approved by Congress, which has authority over the US budget.

Vocal Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett pounced on the new bout of confusion, posting: “Incompetence on full display… It’s day 9 for a fool who had the job for 4 years and still has NO CLUE of how government, the law, nor the constitution works.”

– White House on defense –
Trump was due to sign the Laken Riley Act, a bill cracking down on migrant criminal suspects. It is his first piece of legislation since he returned to power vowing a blitz on illegal immigration.

But Trump’s victory lap risks being overshadowed by the confusion on his high-profile spending freeze.

In her first press briefing on Tuesday, Leavitt had denied that the freeze had caused any “uncertainty” and defended it as part of Trump’s bid to make the government “good stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

Trump unveiled another radical move on Tuesday, offering most federal workers the option to leave their jobs in exchange for eight months severance, plunging the lives of US civil servants into disarray.

Leavitt had earlier Wednesday denied accusations of a purge of Trump’s opponents over the severance plan.

“Absolutely false. This is a suggestion to federal workers that they have to return to work,” she told reporters, referring to Trump’s bid to make all federal employees return to full-time office work.

“If they don’t then they have the option to resign and this administration is very generously offering to pay them for eight months.”

– Focus on immigration –
The Laken Riley act — which orders the pre-trial detention of undocumented migrants charged with theft and violent crimes — is named for a 22-year-old student murdered by a Venezuelan man who was wanted for shoplifting.

Trump repeatedly spotlighted Riley’s case during his election campaign as he railed against undocumented migrants, blaming them for “poisoning the blood” of the country.

Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, a Venezuelan with no papers, was convicted of murdering the nursing student in 2024 after she went missing on her morning run near the University of Georgia in Athens.

Ibarra had been arrested and released twice before, including when he crossed the Mexican border in 2022.

Trump has launched what his second administration is casting as a major crackdown on illegal migration, trumpeting immigration raids and arrests and deportations on military aircraft.

His administration said on Wednesday it had evoked an extension of the protected status for more than 600,000 Venezuelans that had allowed them to remain in the United States.

Trump has made the issue a priority on the international stage too, threatening Colombia with sanctions and massive tariffs for turning back two planes of deportees, before Bogota backed down.

Congress's “VIP Culture” Jab As Several Feared Dead In Mahakumbh Stampede

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jan 29, 2025 | top-stories

New Delhi:

The Congress has blamed “half-baked preparations and “focus on self-publicity” for the stampede at Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. While Congress leaders have said several people died in the stampede, the state government has not confirmed any deaths yet.

Leader of the Opposition, Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said the news from Prayaraj is heart-rending. “Poor management and prioritising VIP movement over ordinary pilgrims is responsible for this tragic incident,” he said, adding that the government should make proper arrangements to prevent a recurrence of such an incident. “VIP culture should be checked and better arrangements must be made for the pilgrims,” Mr Gandhi said.

Hoping for the swift recovery of those injured, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has said in a post on X, “Half-baked preparations, VIP movement and a focus on self-publicity instead of management is responsible for this. Such preparations despite spending thousands of crores in condemnable.”

Mr Kharge said several snans are still left and the Centre and the state government should improve the arrangements to prevent a repeat of such an incident. “Facilities for lodging pilgrims and first-aid must be expanded and VIP movement checked. Our saints want the same,” he said, adding that Congress workers should help those affected in every possible way.

The Congress leaders’ jabs over VIP culture come against the backdrop of high-profile BJP leaders, including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, visiting the Mahakumbh to take the holy dip.

About 30 women have been injured after the rush to take a holy dip in the morning of Mauni Amavasya led to a stampede-like situation on the banks of the Ganga. As the crowds surged, some women fainted and collapsed and a stampede-like situation followed.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has appealed to devotees to take the holy dip in the ghat close to them and not try to proceed towards the crowded ‘Sangam’. “Please follow the administration’s instructions. Do not heed rumours,” his office said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken to the Chief Minister and asked him to arrange immediate relief measures.

Explained: Why Trump Is Threatening To “Take Back” The Panama Canal

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jan 28, 2025 | top-stories

Newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing to “take back” the Panama Canal, the world’s second busiest interoceanic waterway, spurring concerns that the United States could invade the Central American nation.

Donald Trump argues that Panama has broken a pledge of neutrality made when the United States transferred the canal to Panama in 1999, falsely claiming that China is operating it.

The canal is operated by the Panama Canal Authority, an autonomous agency overseen by the Panamanian government.

WHY IS THE CANAL KEY FOR THE U.S?

The Panama Canal, an 82-km (51-mile) artificial waterway that connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, saves ships thousands of miles and weeks of travel. Before it was built, ships had to make the long journey around the stormy tip of South America in order to travel by sea between the two oceans.

Over two-thirds of all cargo passing through the canal today originates from or is destined for the United States.

The U.S. completed construction of the canal in the early 20th century, a project begun by France that cost over 25,000 workers’ lives.

Following pressure from anti-colonial movements, the U.S. signed treaties in 1977 granting Panama control and full sovereignty over the canal zone and guaranteeing its permanent neutrality. These took effect in 1999.

Between 2023 and 2024, a severe drought aggravated by climate change lowered the level of lakes feeding the canal, forcing its administrator to restrict transits and vessel draft, which increased costs and waiting times.

The passage restrictions were lifted late last year, but the waterway has not yet seen a full return of normal traffic as many shippers, especially bulk carriers and liquefied natural gas tankers, have continued taking alternative routes.

WHAT IS CHINA’S INVOLVEMENT?

In his inaugural address last week, Trump repeated accusations he made following his election victory that Panama has ceded control of the canal to China. He has also said Chinese troops are stationed at the canal, without providing evidence.

Both Panama’s government and the Chinese government have rejected those assertions.

CK Hutchison Holdings, a Hong Kong-based company, has for more than two decades operated the ports of Balboa and Cristobal at the canal’s Pacific and Atlantic entrances. The company is publicly listed and not financially tied to the Chinese government, though Hong Kong firms are subject to government oversight.

Private U.S. firm SSA Marine operates the MIT port on the Atlantic coast, Taiwan’s Evergreen Group operates another Atlantic port known as CCT, and Singapore’s PSA International operates the Rodman port on the Pacific coast, according to company and government websites.

China’s economic influence has been growing in Latin America, fueling worries in Washington that the resource-rich region will tilt to Chinese interests rather than those of the United States.

Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino has asserted that the canal is and will continue to be Panamanian.

Panama’s authorities recently announced an audit on CK Hutchison’s operated ports, saying they are investigating the firm’s compliance with concession agreements and whether it is adequately reporting its revenues and state payments.

CK Hutchison’s local arm did not respond to a Reuters request for comment, but said in a statement it has paid the state hundreds of millions of dollars during its concession and that its labor force is 99.9% Panamanian.

DISPUTE OVER TOLLS

Trump has repeatedly complained that the fees charged to ships to use the canal are too high, and has accused Panama of levying unfair tariffs on U.S. goods.

“American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way and that includes the United States Navy,” Trump said in the address.

Between the fiscal years ended in 2020 and 2023, the canal’s toll revenue increased almost 26% to $3.35 billion, according to its annual reports. In the fiscal year ended last September, the canal offset less vessel traffic with a water surcharge, which it combined with slot auctions that rose to as much as $4 million per vessel.

The canal’s fees are not differentiated by a ship’s flag, country of origin, or of destination. The United States does not have a relevant commercial fleet under its flag, and U.S. military ships enjoy priority of passage.

Mulino said the tariffs are carefully and transparently evaluated according to demand.

According to shipping experts and cargo movers, tolling fee increases have been applied in recent years by other key waterways amid demand spikes and geopolitical conflicts.

WHAT’S NEXT

Trump’s threat is already impacting Panama’s debt rating. U.S. investment bank JPMorgan downgraded its recommendation on the country’s bonds over threats to the canal, a key source of national income.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is scheduled to visit Panama between late January and early February, his first foreign visit in the post.

Immigration will be a focus of the trip.

Mulino, who took office last year, has taken a harder line on migration than his predecessor, agreeing to U.S.-funded deportation flights from Panama and installing barbed wire at the Darien Gap, a dangerous jungle route many migrants take crossing on foot out of South America on their way to the U.S. border.

“Mutually Beneficial, Trusted Partnership”: PM Modi's Phone Call With Trump

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jan 27, 2025 | top-stories

Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday held a telephonic conversation with Donald Trump, a week after his inauguration as US President, and congratulated his “dear friend on his historic second term”.

The Prime Minister underscored that New Delhi remains committed to a “mutually beneficial and trusted partnership” with Washington.

“Delighted to speak with my dear friend President @realDonaldTrump @POTUS. Congratulated him on his historic second term. We are committed to a mutually beneficial and trusted partnership. We will work together for the welfare of our people and towards global peace, prosperity, and security,” PM Modi posted on X.

This was the first conversation between both leaders since US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Trump began his second term last Monday with a flurry of executive actions aimed at overhauling US immigration, and the H1-B visas that allow companies to bring foreigners with specific qualifications to the United States.

India is among the largest sources of legal migration into the United States, but tens of thousands of Indians have also entered the country illegally in recent years by crossing the Canadian and Mexican borders.

India is prepared to take back its citizens residing illegally in the United States, foreign minister S Jaishankar said after meeting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Tuesday, a day after Trump’s inauguration.

“We want Indian talent and Indian skills to have the maximum opportunity at the global level. At the same time, we are also very firmly opposed to illegal mobility and illegal migration,” Mr Jaishankar, who attended Trump’s inauguration, said Wednesday responding to a query on news reports that India was working with the Trump administration on the deportation of around 18,000 Indians who are either undocumented, or have overstayed their visas.

“So, with every country, and the US is no exception, we have always taken the view that if any of our citizens are here illegally, and if we are sure that they are our citizens, we have always been open to their legitimate return to India,” he said.

Mr Rubio had “emphasized the Trump administration’s desire to work with India to advance economic ties and address concerns related to irregular migration,” State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a readout after Tuesday’s meeting.

On Friday, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India is looking for “bolder, bigger and a more ambitious” relationship with the US and indicated its readiness to work with the Trump administration to address issues like illegal immigration and trade.

The most recent US census showed its Indian-origin population had grown by 50 per cent to 4.8 million in the decade to 2020, while more than a third of the nearly 1.3 million Indian students studying abroad in 2022 were in the United States.

Israel Says Gazans Can Return Home, Hamas To Release 6 More Hostages

by Hansraj Agrawal | Jan 27, 2025 | top-stories

Gaza City:

Israel said Palestinians could begin returning to the north of the war-battered Gaza Strip on Monday after a deal was reached with Hamas for the release of another six hostages, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

The breakthrough preserves a fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, which has devastated the Gaza Strip and displaced nearly all its residents, paving the way for more hostage-prisoner swaps under a deal aimed at ending the more than 15-month conflict.

Israel had been preventing vast crowds of Palestinians from using a coastal road to return to northern Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating the truce agreement by failing to release civilian women hostages.

“Hamas has backtracked and will carry out an additional phase of releasing hostages this Thursday,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement, adding that three hostages would be released that day, with another three captives set for release on Saturday.

Palestinian leaders meanwhile slammed a plan floated by US President Donald Trump to “clean out” Gaza, vowing to resist any effort to forcibly displace residents of the war-battered territory.

Trump said Gaza had become a “demolition site”, adding he had spoken to Jordan’s King Abdullah II about moving Palestinians out.

“I’d like Egypt to take people. And I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump told reporters.

Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas, who is based in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, “expressed strong rejection and condemnation of any projects” aimed at displacing Palestinians from Gaza, his office said.

Bassem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, told AFP that Palestinians would “foil such projects”, as they have done to similar plans “for displacement and alternative homelands over the decades”.

Islamic Jihad, which has fought alongside Hamas in Gaza, called Trump’s idea “deplorable”.

For Palestinians, any attempt to move them from Gaza would evoke dark memories of what the Arab world calls the “Nakba”, or catastrophe — the mass displacement of Palestinians during Israel’s creation in 1948.

“We say to Trump and the whole world: we will not leave Palestine or Gaza, no matter what happens,” said displaced Gaza resident Rashad al-Naji.

Jordan, Egypt reject displacement

Trump floated the idea to reporters Saturday aboard Air Force One: “You’re talking about probably a million and half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

Moving Gaza’s roughly 2.4 million inhabitants could be done “temporarily or could be long term”, he said.

Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich — who opposed the truce deal and has voiced support for re-establishing Israeli settlements in Gaza — called Trump’s suggestion of “a great idea”. The Arab League rejected the idea, warning against “attempts to uproot the Palestinian people from their land”.

“The forced displacement and eviction of people from their land can only be called ethnic cleansing”, the league said in a statement.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said “our rejection of the displacement of Palestinians is firm and will not change. Jordan is for Jordanians and Palestine is for Palestinians.”

Egypt’s foreign ministry said it rejected any infringement of Palestinians’ “inalienable rights”.

In Gaza, cars and carts loaded with belongings jammed a road near the Netzarim Corridor that Israel has blocked, preventing the expected return of hundreds of thousands of people to northern Gaza.

Israel had said it would prevent Palestinians’ passage until the release of Arbel Yehud, a civilian woman hostage. She is among those slated for return on Thursday, according to Netanyahu’s office.

Hamas said that blocking returns to the north also amounted to a truce violation, adding it had provided “all the necessary guarantees” for Yehud’s release.

‘Dire’ humanitarian situation

During the first phase of the Gaza truce, 33 hostages are supposed to be freed in staggered releases over six weeks in exchange for around 1,900 Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

The most recent swap saw four Israeli women hostages, all soldiers, and 200 prisoners, nearly all Palestinian, released Saturday — the second such exchange during the fragile truce entering its second week.

Dani Miran, whose hostage son Omri is not slated for release during the first phase, demonstrated outside Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem on Sunday.

“We want the agreement to continue and for them to bring our children back as quickly as possible — and all at once,” he said.

The truce has brought a surge of food, fuel, medicines and other aid into rubble-strewn Gaza, but the UN says “the humanitarian situation remains dire”.

Of the 251 hostages seized during Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack that ignited the war, 87 remain in Gaza, including 34 the military says are dead.

The Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of 1,210 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed at least 47,306 people in Gaza, the majority civilians, according to figures from the Hamas-run territory’s health ministry that the United Nations considers reliable.
