Pacific Politics: The Solomon Islands has elected opposition leader Matthew Wale as prime minister, ousting Jeremiah Manele after a no-confidence vote—Wale says “change is coming” as the China-linked security relationship remains a key Western concern. US–China Flashpoint: In Beijing, Xi warned Trump that mishandling Taiwan could trigger “clashes” or even conflict, while Trump pushed for a “stronger and better” relationship and both sides also agreed Iran can’t have nuclear weapons and the Strait of Hormuz must stay open. West Asia Energy Shock: India’s petrol and diesel jumped again by ₹3 a litre in major cities, as the Iran war keeps squeezing fuel supply and raises costs. BRICS Diplomacy: Iran’s foreign minister urged BRICS to resist “American bullying” as BRICS talks in New Delhi continue amid war and oil-price pressure. Local Governance & Rights: Hawaii passed a law aimed at limiting corporate political spending after Citizens United, and Fiji stressed workplace democracy as vital for development.
