By Hera Rizwan Indian Overseas Congress chairman Sam Pitroda has managed to stir up a political controversy by alluding to the inheritance tax in the United States as an "interesting law". This prompted the grand old party to defend its stance. The BJP seized upon Pitroda's comments regarding the notion of inheritance tax in the US to bolster its critique of the Congress's alleged approach to wealth redistribution. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also alleged that the Congress aims to confiscate property passed down to children, characterising the party's philosophy as one of "looting," both duri...

The U.S. on April 20 became the first nation to adopt legislation green-lighting confiscating frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. President Joe Biden signed the REPO Act alongside a $95 billion foreign aid bill that included $61 billion for Kyiv on April 24, setting the legal basis for liquidating immobilized Russian assets held in the U.S. Since the West froze around $300 billion belonging to the Russian Central Bank (CBR) at the start of the full-scale invasion, discussions among the G7 countries about what to do with the assets have been divisive.

Washington (AFP) - Le Sénat américain a adopté mardi une loi demandant au géant des réseaux sociaux TikTok de couper ses liens avec sa maison-mère ByteDance, et plus largement avec la Chine, s'il ne veut pas risquer d'être interdit aux Etats-Unis.

Candidat à sa réélection en novembre, le chef de l'Etat démocrate avait redit son "inquiétude" à propos de TikTok lors d'un échange avec son homologue chinois Xi Jinp...
