Trump says US does very little business with India, almost none with Russia
July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said that the United States has done very little business with India, and that Russia and the U.S. do almost no business together. "I don't care what India does with Russia", he said in a Truth Social post on Thursday, adding that "they can take their dead economies down together, for all I care". In an earlier Truth Social post on Wednesday Trump talked about India's trade with Russia when announcing the U.S. would impose a 25% tariff on goods imported from India starting on Friday. In response to the earlier Truth Social post, the Indian government said it was studying the implications of Trump's announcements and remained dedicated to securing a fair trade deal. Trump said that India has always bought a vast majority of their military equipment and energy from Russia, which was "not good".

Macy's rival sells 119 stores
JCPenney, the 123-year-old department store chain, is selling 119 stores to a private equity firm. Profits from the $947 million sale to Onyx, set to close on September 8, will be used to pay off debts. The 119 stores are spread across 35 states and Puerto Rico — with Texas having the most affected locations. Scroll down for the full list. Their future remains uncertain, though for now they remain open. JCPenney filed for bankruptcy protection in 2020, during which it shut 30 percent of its locations to take the total to 650. Earlier this year, it shut another seven stores — part of what experts say will be a wave of 15,000-store shutter this year. Major retail chains including Macy's, Party City, and Big Lots have cut stores in the past 18 months as shoppers shift online. JCPenney's decline accelerated during the pandemic but it had been the rise of online shopping that was the root of its problems. After filing for bankruptcy, its stores, warehouses and HQ were split across two companies. Mall owners Brookfield Asset Management and Simon Property Group took over the core JCPenney business and 490 of its stores. Copper Property, a trust formed by JCPenney lenders, took control of 160 stores and six distribution centers, including those in the 119-store sale. Beyond store closures, JCPenney is also cutting jobs by shutting down a warehouse in Texas, which employs around 300 people. 'The stores were sold as part of the bankruptcy agreement which stated real estate assets had to be sold off to help reimburse investors,' retail expert Neil Saunders of GlobalData told Daily Mail. In January, JCPenney announced it was merging with mall staples like Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers, and Eddie Bauer under a new umbrella called Catalyst Brands. The newly formed group is being led by JCPenney's former CEO Marc Rosen. Retail analysts told they're cautiously optimistic about the future of the retailer. 'JCPenney is midway through a reinvention,' Saunders added. 'There are some signs of success, but they're patchy. The challenge is pulling them together to drive growth.' JCPenney rival Macy's is shutting 150 stores by 2026, leaving only 350 locations left. Last year it shut the first 66 stores this year, including its iconic 51-year-old Massapequa store. Torrid, a once-popular plus-size fashion chain abruptly closed up to 180 stores following a massive sales decline. Meanwhile, Forever 21 ended its 41-year run after filing for bankruptcy twice in five years.
