Morning coverage focused on the fallout of Donald Trump’s Greenland 'Golden Dome' initiative, specifically his threats to impose 100% tariffs on Canada for pursuing trade deals with China. Domestic editors simultaneously tracked a breakthrough in Indo-US trade, with the US Treasury Secretary signaling a rollback of the 25% tariff on Indian goods following New Delhi’s reduction in Russian oil imports. By midday, the editorial priority shifted to the ICC's formal ejection of Bangladesh from the 2026 T20 World Cup, officially naming Scotland as its replacement. This follows days of diplomatic and sporting friction between Dhaka and New Delhi. Editors also highlighted a violent domestic tragedy in the US involving an Indian national and reported on the arrival of EU leaders for a Republic Day summit. The evening was dominated by escalating religious and political friction in Uttar Pradesh. Headlines followed a mob’s attempted forced entry into the camp of Shankaracharya Avimukteshwaranand, who has been openly critical of state leadership, leading to a significant security standoff.
