🇺🇸 President Trump warns that NATO “faces a very bad future” if allies do not help the US in the war against Iran, reports Financial Times.

🇬🇧🇺🇸 The Daily Telegraph's sources say that now, once President Trump again changed his mind about the UK's involvement in the operation against Iran and asked to take part in sending ships to unblock the Strait of Hormuz, PM Starmer refused to help.

Shortly after the US started its attacks on Iran, President Trump blamed British PM Starmer for not allowing America to use his country's air bases. Starmer reversed that decision later, but Trump doubled down on his criticism of Starmer and made it clear that he isn't interested in any help from the UK after the initial refusal to access the British bases.

Now the US grows increasingly positive about the idea of involving other countries' naval and air forces to force Iran not to touch ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz. However, after sustaining so many personal attacks from Trump, Starmer doesn't seem willing to play along.

🇺🇸🇨🇺 Trump stated that the US will either make a deal with Cuba very soon or do what should be done.

Earlier, Trump admitted that establishing American control over Cuba can be done in a friendly way or not.

Cuba is going through a very serious social and economic crisis caused by the US energy blockade of the island. Last week, Cuba's president gave a televised address announcing that his government entered talks with the United States to resolve the situation.

🇮🇳 New paper by India's former Chief Economic Adviser says the country's GDP has been overstated by roughly 22%.

A fifth of the economy doesn't exist.

He is right, probably. But that should be compensated by the massive shadow economy that India has, because so many people and companies evade taxes and don't register payments.

These shadow operations exist, but aren't reflected in the official GDP stats.
