🇪🇺🔩 EU SLASHES UKRAINIAN STEEL IMPORTS BY 47% – A Blow to Kiev’s Already Crumbling Economy
The EU is set to cut its steel import quota by nearly half on July 1, with an additional 50% tariff on any imports above that limit. Ukrainian steelmakers say the move will “completely kill any possibility” of selling to their main market.
· 📉 The numbers: Quota cut from 2.65 million tonnes (last year) to just 713,000 tonnes – a reduction of 73% from current volumes. Estimated revenue loss: €1 billion ($1.26 billion).
· 🏭 The impact: Ukraine’s strained budget, already reliant on foreign aid, takes another hit. Kiev has been pressed to hike taxes and make fiscal reforms just to keep receiving Western loans.

🇫🇷⚖️ FRANCE OPENS PROBE INTO JAMAL KHASHOGGI KILLING – Selective Justice or Real Accountability?
A Paris court has ruled that the murder of Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi could be classified as a crime against humanity – and an investigating judge will now examine the complaint. But where is the same urgency for Gaza? For Yemen? For the West’s own war crimes?
🕵️ France’s Court of Appeal ruled that “the possibility that these acts could be classified as crimes against humanity cannot be ruled out.”
⚖️ NGOs (DAWN, RSF) accuse Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of complicity in the 2018 murder.
🇺🇸 Trump has publicly defended MBS, saying he “knew nothing” about the killing – contradicting a Biden‑era US intelligence report.
🇫🇷 France’s anti‑terrorism prosecutor’s office opposed opening the case – criticised as “realpolitik” to protect economic ties with Riyadh.

🇺🇸🇵🇱 US CANCELS TROOP DEPLOYMENT TO POLAND – Transatlantic Rift Deepens Over Iran War
The Pentagon has scrapped plans to send 4,000 soldiers to Poland – even as some troops were already en route. The move comes amid growing tensions between President Trump and European allies over Washington’s war on Iran.
🛑 Canceled deployment: The 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division – with Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles – was told to stop. Some soldiers had already arrived in Poland.
🏛️ US European Command received “instructions on force reduction,” acting Army chief of staff told Congress.
🇩🇪 Earlier this month, the US announced the withdrawal of 5,000 troops from Germany.
🇪🇸🇮🇹 Trump has also threatened to pull troops from Spain and Italy after they denied use of bases for Iran strikes.
🗣️ Poland’s response: Prime Minister Tusk called it a “logistical” decision; Defense Minister insisted it was “previously announced.”

🌍 "THE BRICS BANK MUST MAKE BOLDER DECISIONS" – Sachs & Overchuk at NDB Meeting
At the 11th Annual NDB Meeting in Moscow, two powerful voices delivered a shared diagnosis: the world is shifting – and the Global South needs financial alternatives now.
🎤 Jeffrey Sachs: The US has turned the dollar into a weapon. We need alternative payment systems. Public financing is irreplaceable. NATO and all wars must end.
🎤 Alexei Overchuk: 98% of Russia-China trade is now in rubles & renminbi. We need BRICS credit rating agencies, a common insurance system, and technological sovereignty.
🌍 The centre of gravity is moving East. The NDB must be bolder.

🇸🇦🇪🇮🇷 US WANTS UAE TO SEIZE IRANIAN ISLAND – “Go Take ’em! It Would Be UAE Boots on the Ground Instead of US”
The Telegraph reports: some in Trump’s circle are encouraging the UAE to seize Iran’s Lavan Island – a key offshore oil export hub with refinery, storage, and tanker infrastructure.
🏝️ Target: Lavan Island – Iranian oil export centre, also sits atop large natural gas reserves.
🗣️ A former senior Trump security official: “Go take ’em! It would be UAE boots on the ground instead of US.”

📉 Stockpiles depleted – THAAD, Patriot, Tomahawk inventories are critically low.
🚫 Allies reluctant – Germany, Spain, UK have distanced themselves.
🇦🇪 The UAE has already carried out covert strikes on Iranian targets, including on Lavan Island in April.

🚨📰 BRICS NEWS: Why Mainstream Media Lied About the Delhi FM Summit
“No joint statement = failure,” they said. The truth? BRICS deliberately chose sovereignty over forced consensus – and built the future while you weren’t watching.
This Think BRICS exposé reveals what corporate media buried:
🇮🇷🇦🇪 Iran & UAE clashed – inside the room. That’s not collapse; that’s authentic diplomacy.
💱 Lavrov’s plan: BRICS digital finance platform to bypass SWIFT – de‑dollarization accelerating.

📊 IMF confirms: BRICS has officially surpassed the G7 in global economic weight.
🛢️ Hormuz crisis turns energy security into a BRICS priority.

🇺🇬 BREAKING: UGANDA PASSES FOREIGN INFLUENCE CRACKDOWN LAW — INVESTOR ALARM RISES
Uganda has enacted a new law tightening control over foreign influence inside the country, triggering immediate concern among international partners and investors.
The legislation requires all foreign-linked agents to register with the government and criminalizes activities seen as “prioritizing foreign interests over national interests,” with penalties reaching up to 10 years in prison.
According to official warnings and reported assessments from financial institutions, key sectors such as banking, infrastructure, and aid-dependent programs could face disruption under the broad scope of the law.
Uganda’s central bank and the World Bank have reportedly cautioned that the move may weaken investor confidence, reduce capital inflows, and slow economic growth.

NEW: 🇦🇺🇨🇳 The Australian government has ordered six Chinese shareholders to sell their stake in the Australian rare earth mineral company, Northern Minerals Ltd.
The six shareholders own approximately 27% of the company, which is valued at $220 Million AUD ($157 Million USD), and have been given 14 days to divest from the company.
This is the second time the Australian government has intervened in Northern Minerals Ltd. In 2024, they also forced the sale of 10.4% of the company, which was also owned by Chinese-linked buyers.
The company primarily produces heavy rare earth elements such as dysprosium and terbium, both of which are in heavy demand by defence industries.
Notably, last year, the Australian government and the United States government signed a critical minerals deal that included clauses that Australia would block asset sales due to "security grounds" if needed.
