Trump hints at
Washington, DC [US], June 27 (ANI): US President Donald Trump said on Thursday (US local time) that America has signed a deal with China and hinted that a 'very big' deal with India will follow soon.
Trump made the remarks while speaking at the Big Beautiful Bill event.
In his speech hinting towards trade deals, Trump said, 'Everybody wants to make a deal and have a part of it. Remember a few months ago, the press was saying, 'You really have anybody of any interest? Well, we just signed with China yesterday. We are having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India. Very big one. Where we're going to open up India, in the China deal, we are starting to open up China.'
Trump asserted that deals will not be made with every other nation.
'We're not going to make deals with everybody. Some we are just going to send them a letter, say thank you very much. You are to pay 25, 35, 45 per cent. That's the easy way to do it, and my people don't want to do it that way. They want to do some of it, but they want to make more deals than I would do,' he said.
'But we're having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India. Very big one. Where we're going to open up India, in the China deal, we're starting to open up China. Things that never really could have happened, and the relationship with every country has been very good.'
However, Trump did not elaborate on the details of the deal signed with China.
Earlier in June, CNN reported that the United States and China reached a new trade agreement, reviving terms first agreed to in Geneva last month, after escalating tensions led to a virtual halt in bilateral trade.
The trade truce had brought temporary relief to global markets, businesses, and consumers rattled by months of tariff hikes and growing uncertainty.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social previously that the 'deal' was complete, confirming that both countries would ease export restrictions. 'Our deal with China is done,' Trump posted in all-caps, stating that China would supply 'full magnets, and any necessary rare earths...up front,' as per the Geneva framework.
Earlier this month, while speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said that a trade deal between India and the United States could be finalised soon, with both countries finding common ground that suits their interests.
'I think to be in a very, very good place, and you should expect a deal between the United States and India in the not-too-distant future because I think we found a place that really works for both countries.' When asked if he was hopeful about the outcome, Lutnick said he was 'very optimistic,' and added, 'It could be sort of the way I come across,' he said.
Meanwhile, on June 10, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that India and the US were in the process of negotiating a fair and equitable trade agreement that will benefit both economies.
Addressing a press conference over India-US trade deal and Future trade agreement with the European Union, Piyush Goyal said, 'PM Narendra Modi and US President Trump met in February 2025...Both our leaders have decided to enter into a bilateral trade agreement which will be mutually beneficial for both the economies, businesses on both sides and the people of both countries. We are negotiating to make a nice, fair, equitable and balanced agreement to promote business.'
Highlighting that both America and India are 'very close friends, allies and strategic partners', Piyush Goyal said that the trade deal is an opportunity to expand bilateral trade and strengthen the partnership between the two nations. (ANI)

Has there been a US policy shift on Myanmar in Trump 2.0?
The US's recent imposition of a complete travel ban affecting 12 countries, including Myanmar, among few other countries under partial ban, is becoming a contentious topic. Citing security concerns and high visa overstay rates, the travel ban itself is questionable, given that it imposed a travel ban on Myanmar where it was supporting the democratic forces, but not on Pakistan. This imposition of the travel ban has expanded its list which President Trump originally defined during his first term, but included Myanmar then as well. This article aims to explore whether the US policy is actually shifting sand or continuing to support the democratic forces in Myanmar. Time and again there has been a debate among scholars that the United States policy towards Myanmar, which involved sanctions and isolation of the military leaders and affiliated entities, has largely been ineffectual. The second term of the Trump administration has seemed to take cognisance of the same and there are conversations among the closed doors that may be US is re-considering its stand. US President Donald Trump (AFP) With a history of a reactive and punitive policy towards the Myanmar military regime which ruled the country for the majority of the years since independence, the US adopted the same approach post the 2021 military coup. While the US policy aimed to support the democratic forces by providing them aid/support, especially through the BURMA Act, it continued with the policy of isolating the military through targeted sanctions, to pressure the regime and hold it accountable. This policy has had the unintended consequence of pushing Myanmar further into China's sphere of influence, which continues to multiple stakeholders and ensure its pertinent presence in the country. Adding to this, a few others have claimed that the US might be planning a proxy war in Myanmar, to challenge the military leaders as well as restrict China's operations in the country. Though there is no hard evidence, only narratives around the recent developments in Bangladesh and reports of British and American missionaries entering Myanmar. Additionally, the evolving security concerns due to online scams and drug supply affecting US citizens has raised concerns among US policy makers to reconsider its policy towards Myanmar. Since coming to power for the second term, the Trump administration has deprioritised support for Myanmar's pro-democracy movement by terminating the funding for independent media, civil society, and refugee support on the Thai border. Even in the aftermath of the earthquake in March 2025, while the Trump administration announced that support of up to $2 million in humanitarian assistance was to be distributed through aid organisations. But it must be noted that during the same time, the US administration has done massive layoffs and cut in budgets of USAID, which thereby raised concerns about the implementation of such assistance. And the recent travel bans further questions the support to pro-democracy forces who are immigrating from a conflict-ridden State and the National Unity Government, which has even set up a representative office in Washington. UN's human rights chief, Volker Turk, said the ban "raises concerns from the perspective of international law." There are a few others who are now questioning whether the US is considering initiating talks with the military leaders in Myanmar. The rationale for such a move could be that while the US was isolating the military and SAC, this has driven them further closer into China's orbit. Earlier this year, the Trump administration imposed 44% tariffs on Myanmar's already fragile economy, and exposed them to risk of excessive economic isolation. As a result of economic isolation, Myanmar leaders have been deepening their engagements with China and Russia, and seeking diplomatic support, financial support for various infrastructure projects and most importantly, arms deals. And Trump's ambition to be a peace breaker and his recent relations with Putin could just be a starting point where there could be the possibility of engagement between Trump and Min Hlaing. Furthermore, Myanmar's strategic location—bordering China, India, Bangladesh and Thailand, and a direct access to the Bay of Bengal—makes it a key arena for influence for the major powers. Additionally, the ongoing civil war and the resulting cross-border movement of drugs, arms, and refugees has direct implications for the security and stability of the region and more importantly of India's northeastern states. India, too, is wary of China's growing presence in Myanmar, which could bring Chinese strategic interests uncomfortably close to its borders. Given these overlapping challenges/issues, there are voices in Washington which are suggesting the US must work with regional partners, especially—India, Bangladesh, and Thailand. Along with the need to provide humanitarian aid, the US can explore opportunities for regional dialogue and cooperation, aiming to include all stakeholders and provide the stage for inclusive elections, which the military is promising to conduct by the end of the year. Further, it might be a far possibility, but the US should think of options to conditionally engage with the military in exchange for concrete steps toward immediate cessation of violence, ensure dialogue and inclusive political processes and most importantly provide humanitarian aid. While there are uncertainties involved, and the prospects for a shift in US policy toward Myanmar lacks any conclusive evidence, the evolving regional dynamics and the risk of ceding the country entirely to Chinese influence, may eventually prompt Washington to reconsider its current approach. Additionally, the US must use all its sources to continue its support for the pro-democratic forces via providing aid, funding as well as engaging in dialogue to restore normalcy in the country. While many would argue that overthrowing the military regime and isolating will be the solution to the crisis, the real politic lies in engaging with the military as well as including the National Unity Government (NUG) and ethnic armed organisations in the political process. The military has ruled the country for decades, its involvement cannot be put down to zero, but strategic alignment with democratic principles could be the beginning of a new era in Myanmar.

A remote Himalayan kingdom bet big on bitcoin mining. So far, it has paid off.
THIMPHU, Bhutan—The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is best known for its stunning landscapes and national happiness index. Lately it has earned a new reputation: crypto pioneer. Bhutan now boasts a stash of bitcoins worth $1.3 billion, or roughly 40% of the country's gross domestic product, according to cryptocurrency platform Arkham. It is the third-largest such stockpile held by governments, according to Arkham. Unlike the U.S. or U.K, which also have vast crypto holdings, Bhutan's fortune wasn't seized from criminal activity or purchased in the open market. Instead, the secluded Buddhist nation began quietly setting up bitcoin mines in 2020, harnessing its abundant hydropower to dig for digital gold. 'For Bhutan, it was quite obvious in a lot of ways," said Ujjwal Deep Dahal, chief executive of Bhutan's sovereign-wealth fund, Druk Holding and Investments, which implemented the project. 'We kind of look at bitcoin as a store of value, similar to gold." Many countries are studying ways to inject cryptocurrency into their financial systems. In March, President Trump signed an executive order to create a national stockpile of bitcoin and other digital currencies. Crypto experts say larger countries want to stake an early claim as a leader in cryptocurrencies, similar to how New York and London dominate traditional finance. Smaller countries also see it as a potential boost. One of the boldest experiments came in 2021, when El Salvador adopted bitcoin as legal tender, although use of the currency didn't take off. Bhutan's bet on bitcoin, however, carries risk. A fall in bitcoin's price could deal a heavy blow to the government's coffers. Sandwiched between China and India, Bhutan, population 780,000, is an unlikely trailblazer in cryptocurrency. Old traditions still dominate: Government officials wear traditional dress, which for men entails a knee-length robe tied at the waist. The capital city of Thimphu has no traffic lights. Archery competitions are a popular weekend pastime. The country's first credit-card transaction occurred in 2010. Bhutan has gauged economic progress with a 'national happiness index." But the Land of the Thunder Dragon—named for the dramatic thunderstorms that sweep through its valleys—has struggled to expand its economy beyond hydropower, agriculture and tourism. Its economy has struggled since the Covid-19 pandemic choked off tourism. Over the past five years, 10% of its population has emigrated in search of better jobs. 'We are poor," said Dr. Lotay Tshering, a urologist who was prime minister from 2018 to 2023. 'Many people refer to Bhutan and Bhutanese as the happiest country in the world. We are not." When Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, the 45-year-old king who is nicknamed the 'Asian Elvis" for his good looks, asked officials for ideas on how to use technology to jump-start the economy, the idea for bitcoin mining emerged. It is unusual for a sovereign country to run its own crypto-mining operations. But Bhutan already had the key ingredient for profitable mining: cheap electricity. To unlock new bitcoin, computers must solve mathematical puzzles that become increasingly complex over time. In bitcoin's early days, enthusiasts often generated new coins using their home computers, but today's large-scale mining operations require servers guzzling vast amounts of power. Miners have set up shop in far-flung places like Kazakhstan to take advantage of low electricity prices. Bitcoin 'acts as a battery for us, using up excess summer power," said Dahal, the CEO of the sovereign-wealth fund, who studied blockchain technology for years as a personal hobby. The effort got under way in 2019 under the fund's research and development wing, said Dahal, who started by reading material online and watching YouTube videos on how to mine bitcoin. The team eventually imported two computers to tinker on, which overheated the office one night and led to frantic calls from security at 3 a.m. However, when the first mine broke ground in late 2020, Bhutan had closed its borders due to the pandemic, preventing anyone from flying in to help set up operations. Dahal and four employees configured the machines themselves, spending months sleeping on-site. The first location, near Dochula Pass, a snowy mountain pass, was chosen for its cool temperatures and proximity to transmission lines, according to officials. Experts in Singapore and Malaysia advised over the phone. 'You don't want to waste a day of mining, once you have the machines," Dahal said. Soon, the effort was successful. By 2022, Bhutan had broken ground on all four of its government-owned mines, officials said. Moreover, it came just ahead of a run-up in the price of bitcoin, which has gone from under $10,000 in 2020 to around $100,000 today. Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay said the bitcoin haul has more than made up for a drop in hydropower exports, which typically fund about 40% of the government budget. Hydropower exports have fallen as bitcoin mines use up more electricity. In 2023, the government decided to sell off $100 million of its cache to finance pay rises for civil servants for two years. 'That increase has been financed totally with bitcoins," Tobgay said. If you just sold electricity, 'you wouldn't get anywhere near the amount that's required." Bhutan is seeking other ways to profit from bitcoin. In 2023, Singapore-based mining company Bitdeer Technologies announced it was joining forces with Bhutan to build mines. The deal gives Bitdeer, which financed the construction of two mines, all the bitcoin. The company in turn pays Bhutan for electricity in U.S. dollars, which has boosted the country's foreign-currency reserves. The government has stayed mum about most of the locations and the exact number of its own mines, which are controlled by a company called Green Digital. At least six mines are operational, according to officials and satellite images from Planet Labs. Dahal said the secrecy is to prevent 'misuse or hacking or anything else." The project, he added, has complied with all Bhutanese regulations. Behind closed doors, some bureaucrats grumble about the opaque nature of the project and wonder how the money will ultimately be spent. Many Bhutanese people had no inkling about Bhutan's bitcoin stockpile until local news covered the pay bump for government employees. Chencho Tshering, a 25-year-old analyst at the national land commission, said he couldn't believe at first that Bhutan's struggling economy could generate enough funds to give him a 65% raise. 'I wasn't aware of bitcoin at all, but it is a diversification of our economy," he said. 'It's smart." Now, the government plans to hold on to the bitcoin reserves for the long haul, officials said, instead of liquidating to fund government spending. While it doesn't plan to add further mines, it expects to update the existing ones. Bhutan is experimenting with other ways to weave cryptocurrency into daily life. Last month, the government launched a crypto-payment system that allows tourists to pay with more than 100 cryptocurrencies for flights, hotels and visas. Dr. Tshering, the former prime minister who now serves as governor of the special administrative region that oversees the bitcoin mines, said cryptocurrency will be integrated into every facet of that region, called Gelephu Mindfulness City, including its strategic reserves. Cryptocurrencies will likely be accepted within the city, which is also developing its own digital currency. 'It's basically the salt in your curry," Dr. Tshering said, referring to crypto. 'It will touch every element in the curry." Write to Shan Li at
