Donald Trump criticized India's aprovisionamiento de military y petróleo de Russia, argumentando que esto ha facilitado a Moscow el mantenimiento de la guerra en Ukraine. In a strongly worded statement, Donald Trump justified the 25 per cent tariff on India, saying while India is a “friend”, it has imposed some of the “highest tariffs” on the United States and maintained “obnoxious” non-monetary trade barriers. Along with the 25 per cent tariff, India will also face an additional “penalty” for buying Russian oil.

Swallowing difficulties and persistent throat pain are early warning signs of throat cancer.

Early signs of throat cancer: Most sore throats are just a temporary concern. These may be brought on by bad weather, pollution, or simply a strained voice. If it persists, though, it might indicate laryngeal or throat cancer. Keep an eye out for these symptoms and recognize the importance of prompt treatment. Many times, a sore throat is written off as a fleeting annoyance. Perhaps that extra cup of cold coffee or the weather allergies are to blame. But if a sore throat persists for weeks, there may be a serious problem. Oncologists say a chronic hoarse voice, trouble swallowing, or a persistent throatache could be early indicators of laryngeal or throat cancer. Many patients frequently arrive extremely late, ignoring the signs, according to Dr. Akshat Malik, principal and consultant in surgical oncology, head and neck, Math Hospital, Saket.
