World Environment Council

New Delhi, India | 16th July 2025 In a historic move toward redefining sustainability leadership and global environmental strategy, the World Environment Council (WEC) officially launched the WEC Sustainability Ecosystem Framework (WEC-SEF™)—a pioneering model designed to equip organizations, institutions, and governments across the globe to embed sustainability into their core operations.

Conceived and invented by Prof. Ganesh Prakash Channa, Founder and President of WEC, the framework was unveiled in July 2025 as a holistic response to growing climate, ESG, and governance challenges. The WEC-SEF is set to become a global blueprint for green transformation.

What is WEC-SEF™?

The WEC Sustainability Ecosystem Framework (WEC-SEF™) is a globally adaptable, multi-dimensional sustainability model that guides organizations, educational institutions, municipalities, NGOs, and businesses in aligning their environmental and governance strategies with UN SDGs, ESG regulations, and Net Zero goals.

WEC-SEF is structured around five key pillars: Education, Environment, Ethics, Governance, and Social Responsibility, making it one of the most inclusive and practical sustainability frameworks of its kind. It emphasizes real-world implementation and actionable ESG integration, moving beyond compliance to long-term climate resilience.

Speaking on the launch, Prof. Ganesh Channa remarked:

“Sustainability cannot be an isolated goal. It must flow through systems, decisions, education, and innovation. WEC-SEF™ is the bridge between purpose and practice.”

Why WEC-SEF™ Matters

In a time of growing regulatory pressure and climate urgency, WEC-SEF offers:

  • A unified model for corporates, governments, and institutions
  • Alignment with ESG standards including GRI, SASB, BRSR, TCFD, ISSB, CDP
  • Customizability across industries – from agriculture and IT to education and infrastructure
  • A focus on transparency, community engagement, and localized relevance
  • A structured path from policy to measurable environmental outcomes

Cockpit Video Recorders: The Missing Link in Air Crash Investigations

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com

The fatal crash of an Air India Boeing 787-8 in June has reignited a long-standing question in global aviation: why are cockpit video recorders still missing from commercial aircraft? While black boxes already contain voice and flight data recorders, the absence of cockpit video footage leaves crucial gaps in understanding crash events. With demands mounting in India and abroad, the debate over privacy versus safety resurfaces once again.

Crash Sparks Renewed Questions About Cockpit Cameras
A key moment captured by the cockpit voice recorder revealed a conversation between the pilots just before the Air India crash—one denying having cut off fuel, the other questioning the same action. The lack of video evidence from the cockpit has stirred global calls for reform, as video footage could have clarified pilot actions during the final moments of the flight.

Despite black boxes being recovered and audio transcripts published, the preliminary report left several unanswered questions. Many argue that a cockpit video recorder could have provided essential visual context to supplement voice recordings and sensor data.

Why Don’t Commercial Planes Have Cockpit Video Recorders?
The idea of cockpit cameras is not new. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has advocated for cockpit video recorders since 1989, following an incident involving a premature descent in a Boeing 737. Despite recurring recommendations, the US Congress and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have refrained from mandating them—largely due to opposition from powerful pilot unions.

Pilot Resistance: Privacy and Operational Concerns
Pilots, particularly in the US, have strongly resisted cockpit cameras, citing privacy concerns and fears of misuse. They argue that being recorded in high-stress situations could alter their behavior, stifle communication between junior and senior crew, and even expose them to disciplinary actions or public scrutiny.

Many pilots worry that cockpit video footage might be leaked or misconstrued, further complicating investigations rather than helping them. “A single camera frame could be misinterpreted without proper context,” warned Doug Moss, former test pilot and investigator.

Global Comparison and Emerging Trends
While the FAA prohibits cockpit video recording, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) imposes no such ban. China is reportedly planning to incorporate cockpit video surveillance in domestically built aircraft like the COMAC C919. Several helicopter manufacturers already equip their models with cockpit video systems, especially for training and safety monitoring.

Despite privacy arguments, many aviation platforms—including Flightradar24 and Just Planes—regularly share hours of cockpit footage filmed with pilot consent, raising questions about inconsistent standards.

Public and Legal Demands Rise After Air India Tragedy
In the wake of the Air India crash, voices from legal, academic, and aviation circles have demanded legislative action. “If yellow school buses can have cameras, airline cockpits should too,” said Brooklyn Law School professor David Greenfield.

Lawyers, aviation analysts, and concerned citizens alike have called for cockpit video recorders to ensure fair investigations and protect both passengers and pilots. The Airline Pilots’ Association of India (ALPA-India), however, objected to the early direction of the investigation and raised concerns over pilot vilification without conclusive evidence.

Balancing Safety and Privacy: The Central Debate
The controversy around cockpit cameras ultimately boils down to a safety-privacy tradeoff. Proponents argue that visual data enhances transparency, bolsters investigations, and prevents misinformation. Critics insist that cameras could lead to over-surveillance and harm crew morale.

Ironically, cockpit voice recorders—now a critical investigation tool—also faced initial opposition from pilots. The shift in perception came only after their undeniable value in crash analysis became evident. Cockpit video recorders may eventually follow a similar trajectory as safety imperatives grow stronger.


The Air India crash has catalyzed a global reevaluation of cockpit safety protocols. With evolving technology, increasing public demand, and rising expectations for transparency, the call for cockpit video recorders may soon reach a tipping point. Whether privacy concerns can be balanced with safety needs remains a critical question for aviation regulators worldwide.

Why Has the Sensex Lost 1,400+ Points? Five Factors Behind the Market Slide

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
Nifty , Sensex

The Indian stock market has witnessed a sharp correction, with the Sensex falling over 1,400 points in just four trading sessions. The benchmark Nifty 50 also slipped below the critical 25,100 mark, raising investor concerns about market stability. This decline, though, contrasts with gains in the mid- and small-cap segments. What’s driving this downturn? Here’s a detailed analysis of the key factors behind the current market weakness.

1. Trade War Fears and US Tariff Moves
The resurgence of global trade tensions is weighing heavily on Indian markets. US President Donald Trump’s aggressive stance on tariffs—imposing 35% on Canadian imports and 30% on goods from Mexico and the European Union—has stoked fears of a prolonged trade war.
Although reports suggest an interim trade deal with India could lower proposed tariffs to below 20%, the uncertainty continues to pressure market sentiment.
“The market is expecting a US-India trade deal soon… Any disappointment on this front can drag the market further down,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Investments.

2. Shift in Investor Focus to Mid and Small-Caps
While large-cap indices have declined, the BSE Midcap and Smallcap indices posted gains of 0.67% and 0.57% respectively.
Experts attribute this divergence to a surge in retail investor interest in mid- and small-cap stocks, driven by their potential for stronger earnings recovery.
“With over 4,000 small- and mid-cap stocks, investors have a wide universe to explore,” noted G. Chokkalingam of Equinomics.
India’s retail investor base now exceeds 22 crore, with nearly six lakh new investors added each week—fueling sustained demand in the broader markets.

3. Foreign Portfolio Investor (FPI) Outflows
After four consecutive months of net buying, foreign portfolio investors have turned sellers in July.
So far, FPIs have sold over ₹10,000 crore worth of Indian equities, primarily affecting large-cap stocks where they hold significant ownership.
This capital flight is contributing to the sustained pressure on benchmark indices.

4. Stretched Valuations and Earnings Uncertainty
With Q1 earnings around the corner, concerns over high valuations are becoming more pronounced.
The Nifty 50’s price-to-earnings ratio currently stands at 22.6—above its one-year average of 22.2—indicating limited room for error in earnings performance.
Material earnings recovery is expected only after the September quarter, leaving markets vulnerable to short-term volatility.

5. Technical Indicators Signal Continued Weakness
Technical analysis suggests that the benchmarks may see further downside unless key levels are breached.
“As long as the market remains below 25,350/83,200, the sentiment will remain weak,” said Shrikant Chouhan of Kotak Securities.
LKP Securities’ Rupak De added that the Nifty 50’s intraday slip towards 25,000 puts it close to its 50-day moving average, with strong support at 24,900–24,950. Failure to hold this level could prompt deeper corrections towards 24,800 or even 24,700.

The recent decline in India’s stock market is the result of multiple interlinked factors—global trade concerns, capital outflows, valuation fears, and technical resistance levels. However, resilience in mid- and small-cap segments and retail investor optimism offer a silver lining. For now, market participants must brace for continued volatility while watching global developments and domestic earnings closely.

JioPC Could Revolutionise Digital Access, Now a PC for Millions of TV Users

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
JioPC

JioPC: Mukesh Ambani’s Ambitious Plan to Turn Indian TVs into Virtual Desktops

Jio Platforms, the digital arm of Reliance Industries, has rolled out JioPC, a cloud-based virtual desktop service that turns ordinary televisions into personal computers using the company’s set-top box. The service is currently in free trial and accessible via waitlist.

This bold initiative from Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest man, aims to leverage India’s vast TV ownership and bridge the digital divide by giving users access to PC-like functionality without the need for costly hardware.

What is JioPC?

  • A cloud-powered virtual desktop accessible via Jio’s set-top box
  • Users plug in a keyboard and mouse to their TVs to use it
  • Comes bundled with JioFiber broadband plans or available standalone for ₹5,499 (~$64)
  • Features LibreOffice pre-installed, with Microsoft Office accessible via browser
  • External peripherals like webcams and printers not currently supported

The Opportunity: TV-Rich, PC-Poor India

  • 70% of Indian households have a television
  • Only 15% of households own a personal computer
  • India’s PC penetration remains low, largely due to affordability issues
  • The market is dominated by smartphones as the primary digital device

“JioPC is a very effective way to grow Jio’s user base and bridge the PC access gap,” says Tarun Pathak, Research Director at Counterpoint.

JioPC’s Strategic Advantages

  • Reaches underpenetrated rural and low-income segments
  • Lowers the barrier to entry for PC functionality
  • Taps into 57 million active set-top box users across India
  • Could become a game-changer for remote learning, digital literacy, and productivity
  • Supported by India’s growing digital ecosystem and expanding broadband access

Challenges and Considerations

  1. Consumer Awareness:
    Convincing users that a TV can act as a PC using only a set-top box will require aggressive marketing.
  2. Connectivity Gaps:
    Poor or unreliable internet in rural areas could limit adoption.
  3. Digital Literacy:
    A key hurdle for widespread use, especially in low-income households.
  4. Lack of App Ecosystem:
    Needs partnerships with app developers, ed-tech, and productivity providers to enhance the user experience.

“Its success will depend on execution, scalability, and value-added apps,” notes Prabhu Ram, VP, CyberMedia Research.

JioPC in Context: Market Trends

  • India’s PC market grew 8% YoY in Q1, reaching 3.3 million units (IDC)
  • But PC penetration lags behind the US and China
  • Traditional DTH TV market is shrinking, creating room for smart set-top innovations
  • JioPC is among the first serious consumer-focused virtual desktop services, unlike Microsoft and AWS, which target enterprises

A Disruptive Bet on India’s Digital Future

JioPC is not just a tech product — it’s a digital inclusion strategy. Mukesh Ambani aims to unlock PC-like functionality for millions, especially students, gig workers, and small business owners who lack access to expensive computing devices.

If successful, JioPC could redefine how Indians access digital services, marking a paradigm shift in the country’s PC landscape.

written by theparliamentnews.com
stock market

Markets Open Lower on July 11 as IT Stocks Weigh Down Sentiment Post-TCS Earnings

Benchmark Indian equity indices Sensex and Nifty opened lower on Friday, July 11, 2025, dragged down by IT sector weakness following the Q1 FY26 earnings report of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

  • BSE Sensex dropped 398.45 points to 82,791.83
  • NSE Nifty declined 111.25 points to 25,244

TCS Drags Down IT Pack After Muted Revenue Growth

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services company, reported:

  • 6% YoY net profit growth to ₹12,760 crore
  • Revenue at ₹63,437 crore, up just 1.3%, but down over 3% in constant currency terms
  • Stock slipped ~2% after the results

The company’s performance was impacted by geopolitical tensions, soft demand in key markets, and the conclusion of the BSNL deal, which had previously supported earnings.

Expert Take:

“Q1 results of TCS indicate continuing struggle for large-cap IT. However, midcap IT may do well going forward,” said VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit.

Top Losers and Gainers

  • TCS
  • Infosys
  • Tech Mahindra
  • HCL Tech
  • Mahindra & Mahindra
  • Bajaj Finserv

Gainers:

  • Hindustan Unilever
  • Axis Bank
  • NTPC
  • Asian Paints

Market Commentary: Broader Outlook Cautious

Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research) at Mehta Equities, said:

“TCS beat estimates with a 6% profit rise, but demand contraction due to global uncertainties and hawkish Fed tones could keep Nifty bulls under pressure. Trump’s trade tariff rhetoric also weighs on sentiment.”

Global Markets Snapshot

  • Asia:
    • Kospi (South Korea) – Positive
    • Nikkei 225 (Japan) – Positive
    • SSE Composite (Shanghai) – Positive
    • Hang Seng (Hong Kong) – Positive

  • Sensex: Closed down 345.80 points at 83,190.28
  • Nifty: Fell 120.85 points to 25,355.25

Key Takeaways

  • Large-cap IT continues to face challenges despite earnings beats.
  • Midcap IT may emerge stronger amid sector divergence.
  • Broader markets are cautious due to Fed policy tone and global tensions.
  • Investors are advised to track IT earnings closely, along with global economic cues.

Rayad Group Apologises for Misleading ₹23.3 Lakh Lifetime UAE Golden Visa Claim

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
UAE Golden VISA

In a major clarification, Dubai-based Rayad Group has publicly apologised for its earlier claims that Indians could obtain a lifetime UAE Golden Visa by paying ₹23.3 lakh (AED 100,000) — a statement the UAE government has now officially denounced as false and misleading.

What Happened?

  • Earlier Claim: Rayad Group’s Managing Director, Rayad Kamal Ayub, suggested in multiple media reports (including PTI) that UAE was offering lifetime Golden Visas to Indians under a simplified nomination-based process.
  • Now Retracted: The company admits these statements were inaccurate and not coordinated with the UAE government. The ₹23.3 lakh cited was merely Rayad’s service fee, not an official visa fee, and no such lifetime Golden Visa scheme exists.

Official UAE Government Response

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) issued a stern statement:

“These claims have no legal basis and were made without coordination with the relevant authorities in the UAE.”

  • The ICP confirmed:
    • No lifetime Golden Visa exists.
    • All visa applications must go through official UAE government channels.
    • No third-party agency can guarantee or issue UAE Golden Visas.
    • Legal action will be taken against any fraudulent or misleading parties.

Rayad Group’s Full Apology

Rayad Group, in a statement to Khaleej Times, said:

“We apologise unreservedly for the public confusion… and take full responsibility for ensuring future communications are clear and accurate.”

They have also withdrawn from offering any private Golden Visa advisory services, acknowledging that previous public comments by the MD were misplaced.

Expert Opinion: A Scam Targeting Indian Aspirants

Immigration attorney Prashant Ajmera called the offer “fake,” stating:

“Such schemes are often created to scam Indians who aspire to live abroad — especially in destinations like the UAE.”

What You Should Know About the Real Golden Visa

  • The UAE Golden Visa does exist but is:
    • Valid for 5 or 10 years, not a lifetime.
    • Requires specific eligibility (high investment, business ownership, professionals, etc.).
    • Processed only through official UAE portals, such as ICP or the Federal Authority.

Bill Gates Exits Top 10 Rich List After $52B Philanthropic Wealth Drop

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
bill gates

Bill Gates No Longer Among World’s Top 10 Richest: $52 Billion Wiped Out in a Week

Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates has experienced one of the steepest weekly drops in personal wealth in recent history, losing $52 billion in just 7 days, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Once a staple in the top 5 wealthiest individuals globally, Gates has now slipped to 12th position, with his net worth standing at $124 billion as of July 8.

How Much Did Gates Lose—and Why?

  • Previous Net Worth (July 1): $172 billion
  • Current Net Worth (July 8): $124 billion
  • Total Weekly Loss: $52 billion
  • Single-Day Loss (Most Recent): $351 million

Primary Reason: Massive Philanthropic Commitments

Gates’ plummet is not due to poor stock performance or failed investments—it’s because of his extraordinary charitable contributions.
In a blog post from May 2025, he revealed:

“I have $108 billion in personal wealth and have committed to give nearly all of it away within the next 20 years.”

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is expected to spend over $200 billion and wind down by 2045, dramatically accelerating its philanthropic mission. As Gates shifts wealth into charitable trusts and initiatives, those assets are no longer counted toward his net worth.

Who Overtook Gates?

The most surprising shift is the entry of Steve Ballmer, Gates’ longtime colleague and successor at Microsoft, who now holds the 5th spot with $172 billion in wealth. Ballmer’s fortune is closely tied to his Microsoft shares, which have surged due to the company’s strong performance and AI investments.

Top 10 Richest People (as of July 8, 2025)

RankNameNet Worth
1Elon Musk$361 billion
2Mark Zuckerberg$254 billion
3Larry Ellison$253 billion
4Jeff Bezos$244 billion
5Steve Ballmer$172 billion
6Larry Page$163 billion
7Bernard Arnault$161 billion
8Sergey Brin$152 billion
9Warren Buffett$146 billion
10Jensen Huang$139 billion

What This Means for Gates and Philanthropy

Despite the drop in net worth rankings, Gates remains one of the most influential and impactful billionaires globally. His decision to prioritise impact over personal fortune reinforces his long-standing belief that wealth should serve humanity.

This also signals a redefinition of legacy for billionaires—shifting focus from accumulation to purpose-driven giving.

UAE Golden Visa Revamp Offers Lifetime Residency for ₹23.3 Lakh: Big Win for Indian Investors

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
uae

In a major shift to its residency policy, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced a revamped Golden Visa programme, now allowing foreign nationals—including Indian investors—to obtain lifetime residency by paying a fixed fee of AED 1,00,000 (approximately ₹23.3 lakh). Industry experts, especially from the real estate sector, are calling this a paradigm shift in the country’s immigration and investment landscape.

Highlights of the New UAE Golden Visa Rule:

  • Lifetime Residency: A one-time payment of AED 1,00,000 now grants lifetime residency status.
  • No Need for Real Estate Investment: Previously, investors had to commit at least AED 2 million (~₹4.7 crore) in UAE property for a 10-year renewable visa.
  • Inclusive & Nomination-Based: The programme aims to broaden access and align with the UAE’s long-term development vision.
  • First Phase Includes India & Bangladesh: Over 5,000 applications expected in three months.

Impact on Indian Real Estate Investors

According to Akash Puri, Director – International at India Sotheby’s International Realty, the change brings a “two-pronged impact” on Indian investor behaviour:

  1. Reduced Pressure for Residency-Driven Investment:
    “With lifetime visas now accessible via direct payment, many Indian investors may no longer feel compelled to purchase UAE property solely for immigration benefits,” says Puri.
    This could lead to:
    • A cool-down in speculative buying, particularly in the mid-market and entry-level real estate segments.
    • A recalibration of strategy towards long-term value creation rather than short-term residency goals.
  2. Increased Focus on Strategic Investment:
    For serious investors, especially those eyeing rental yields, lifestyle upgrades, or portfolio diversification, attention will now shift to:
    • Location quality
    • Developer credibility
    • Asset appreciation potential

“Ultra-HNWIs will likely continue buying luxury and trophy properties,” Puri adds, as their motivations extend beyond the visa.

From Residency-Led to Value-Led Approach

This visa policy reform, if confirmed officially, is expected to de-risk the property market from speculative surges and make it more resilient. Indian investors are now encouraged to focus on:

  • Fundamentals over fast-tracks
  • Long-term rental performance
  • Asset diversification

“This is a cue for Indian investors to transition from residency-led transactions to value-led strategies,” Puri noted. “Over time, this will lead to a more stable, mature UAE property market.”

Awaiting Official Notification

While the policy has already made headlines, an official government notification from the UAE is still awaited. Early reports indicate that India and Bangladesh are part of the initial rollout, with over 5,000 slots available in the first three months of launch.

For Indian investors, this new Golden Visa regime marks a dramatic easing of entry into the UAE. No longer limited by high real estate investment thresholds, the door is now open to a broader base of professionals, entrepreneurs, and long-term strategic investors. The shift from a visa-driven to a value-driven real estate strategy may redefine how Indian capital flows into the UAE—potentially setting the tone for a more rational and resilient market ahead.

Elon Musk Launches ‘America Party’ to Disrupt US Political System

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
Elon musk

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has officially launched a new political party in the United States — the America Party. The announcement came via his platform X on Saturday, signaling his departure from both the Trump administration and the nation’s entrenched two-party structure. The move follows Musk’s growing criticism of bipartisan waste and corruption, as well as a highly publicised fallout with former President Donald Trump.

“To Give You Back Your Freedom”
Musk’s declaration was accompanied by strong language directed at the existing political order. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,” Musk posted, citing the results of a July 4th public poll in which over 65% of X users supported the creation of a new political alternative. Musk framed the two-party system as a “uniparty,” claiming both Democrats and Republicans are complicit in driving wasteful spending and corruption.

He elaborated further, stating:

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste and graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.”

Referencing Ancient Strategy to Challenge the Political Order
In characteristic fashion, Musk drew historical parallels to ancient warfare:

“The way we’re going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra: Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield.”

This metaphor suggests a focused and strategic disruption of the current political structure, hinting at selective interventions in elections or policy spaces where the “America Party” could make maximum impact.

Public Support and Independence Day Symbolism
The formation of the America Party was timed with Independence Day celebrations and a poll Musk launched on July 4. The results, which showed 65.4% voting “Yes” to creating a new political party, were cited as the foundation for the party’s launch. Musk argued that Americans are eager for genuine change and are disillusioned by both Democrats and Republicans.

The Fallout with Trump and DOGE Shutdown
The party’s launch follows escalating tensions between Musk and Donald Trump, especially after the controversial “One Big Beautiful Bill” was signed into law on July 4. The legislation, which Musk claims could add over $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, drew immediate backlash from Musk. Previously, he had served in the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he led initiatives to cut spending and shrink the federal workforce.

Following their fallout, Musk left both his advisory position and DOGE, paving the way for his break from the administration and eventual political pivot.

Disrupting the System Like Tesla and SpaceX
In another post, Musk embraced the challenge ahead, comparing the founding of the America Party to his earlier ventures:

“Elon starting a 3rd party is closely akin to Tesla & SpaceX. Low probability of success, but if successful, it will completely change the game.”

Supporters of Musk see this as a bold, albeit uncertain, move — just as his technological ventures were once viewed as improbable yet transformative.

Elon Musk’s formation of the America Party represents a significant and controversial step in US political discourse. By challenging both the Republican and Democratic establishments, Musk seeks to harness public discontent and offer an alternative that, in his words, returns freedom to the people. Whether this third-party experiment succeeds will depend not just on public sentiment, but also on Musk’s ability to deliver focused political disruption — much like his revolutions in the auto and space industries.

White House to Host UFC Showdown in 2026, Trump Says: ‘It’s Going to Be Epic’

by theparliamentnews.com
written by theparliamentnews.com
Trump

In an unprecedented move blending politics, spectacle, and sport, President Donald Trump announced that the White House will host a UFC fight in 2026 as part of America250, the grand celebration marking 250 years of U.S. independence. The plan was revealed during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines ahead of this year’s July 4th festivities.

A UFC Fight on White House Grounds

Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd, Trump said,

“It’s going to be a championship fight, full fight, like 20,000 to 25,000 people, and we’re going to do that as part of ‘250’ also.”

Trump emphasized that the event will be “epic,” highlighting his long-standing friendship with UFC President Dana White, who has publicly supported Trump since 2001. Trump added,

“Does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White? We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there.”

According to Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, Trump is “dead serious” about the fight plans. She confirmed the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “its going to be EPIC!”

Trump and UFC: A Longstanding Alliance

Trump’s connection to the UFC dates back to 2001 when the now-closed Trump Taj Mahal hosted early UFC events. UFC President Dana White has remained a vocal supporter of Trump, calling him

“the legitimate, ultimate, American badass of all time,”
following the recent assassination attempt against the former president.

White also endorsed Trump in his 2016 presidential run, calling him a “fighter” both politically and personally.

What This Means for America250

The announcement has stirred national attention, marking a bold fusion of tradition and entertainment. While critics may question the appropriateness of a UFC bout at the White House, supporters view it as a creative celebration of American culture and strength.

Trump’s vision for America250 is shaping up to be one of the most unconventional and attention-grabbing independence celebrations in U.S. history — blending statecraft, showmanship, and spectacle into a high-octane national milestone.
