Donald Trump's latest flat 25% tariff on all Indian exports to the US seems to have rubbed New Delhi the wrong way, as the world's fourth largest economy has reportedly told US officials that India was no longer interested in buying its fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter jets. The US has been repeatedly lobbying global military powers such as India to purchase American defence exports. But after the latest Trump tariffs, India would no longer approve any major military purchases from the US. F-35s are tied to Lockheed Martin software, have high operational costs, and they cost $80 million each. The USAF cut down on the number of orders of the troubled fifth-generation supersonic stealth F-35 fighters it intends to procure from Lockheed Martin Corp from 48 to 24. The Pentagon also reportedly cut down its order to just 12 F-35Cs from the 17 that the US Congress approved for the fiscal year. Lockheed Martin shares are $421.01. Read more

The US Department of Energy discovered a radioactive wasp nest near the Savannah River Site (SRS) nuclear waste facility in South Carolina. The nest was found to have ten times more radiation than permitted levels. The wasp nest was found near tanks that are being used to store millions of gallons of liquid nuclear waste. The nest was sprayed with insect killer, removed and disposed of as radiological waste. Wasps generally fly only a few hundred feet from their nest and the nest was found in the middle of the 310-square-mile SRS meaning there is little chance they flew outside of the facility. Investigators say that the radiation was not related to any nuclear waste leak and that there was no impact on the environment or the public. Read more
