Remove Ads US President Donald Trump on Wednesday hinted at the announcement of a possible trade agreement with India, saying 'maybe' another deal was on the made the remarks during a bilateral meeting with the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Bahrain at the White House."We have another deal coming up maybe with India," Trump was quoted as statement comes even as a fifth round of talks between Indian and US trade officials is underway in Washington, with the two sides working toward a proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA).Earlier this week, Trump had indicated that the India pact may follow the contours of the recently finalised trade agreement with Indonesia. Under that deal, the Southeast Asian country will offer complete market access to US goods, while its own exports will face a 19% duty in the addition, Indonesia has committed to purchasing USD 15 billion in US energy, USD 4.5 billion in American agricultural products, and 50 Boeing to reporters, Trump added, 'India is basically working along that same line. We are going to have access into India. You have to understand, we had no access to any of these countries. Our people couldn't go in, and now we are getting access because of what we are doing with the tariffs…'The US has been pressing India to reduce duties on a range of products, including dairy, automobiles (especially electric vehicles), wines, apples, and genetically modified crops. In return, India is seeking duty relief on key export items like textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, chemicals, and experts have warned that any agreement modelled too closely on the Indonesia deal could harm India's domestic sectors. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) raised concerns over the lack of reciprocity in the proposed terms.'A bad deal, especially one that removes India's tariffs without reciprocal benefits, could be worse than no deal at all,' said GTRI founder Ajay Srivastava. He added that India must 'negotiate transparently, guard against one-sided outcomes, and not succumb to pressure for quick, symbolic agreements that compromise long-term economic interests.'India has so far resisted giving tariff concessions in sensitive sectors such as dairy, which it has never opened to any FTA partner. It is also pushing the US to remove or reduce the additional 26% tariffs it has imposed, along with duties on steel (50%) and autos (25%). Washington, in turn, has postponed the imposition of new tariffs on India until August two nations are targeting an interim agreement in the coming months, with the aim to finalise the first tranche of the BTA by September– trade between the two countries has remained robust, with India's merchandise exports to the US rising 21.78% to USD 17.25 billion in April-May this fiscal, while imports increased by 25.8% to USD 8.87 billion.

Trump Now Playing 'Russian Roulette' With Tariff Talks: What Does This Mean For India, The World?
The US President has threatened to impose 100 per cent 'secondary tariffs" on countries trading with Russia, with an exception if Moscow agrees to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Trump's dissatisfaction with Russia's lack of progress towards a peace deal is well-known. He has already expressed his displeasure alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House. Trump stated that the tariffs would be 'biting" and 'very, very powerful", adding, 'We're going to be doing very severe tariffs if we don't have a deal in 50 days, tariffs at about 100 per cent—you'd call them secondary tariffs." The Kremlin has indicated its willingness to negotiate but has warned that Russia will not respond positively to ultimatums. Interestingly, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has echoed the US President's sentiments, particularly as the US-NATO weapons purchasing scheme has just been established between Trump and Rutte. Trump has declared that the Patriot missile defence systems should arrive in Ukraine very soon, despite resistance from some high-profile figures in the MAGA movement who oppose US support for Ukraine. Kyiv has reasons to celebrate as Washington resumes military assistance to Ukraine. On expected lines, the NATO chief has warned that Brazil, China, and India could be hit very hard by secondary sanctions if they continue to do business with Russia. Rutte has urged Russia's BRICS allies, India, Brazil, and China, to make that phone call to Putin to avoid the sanctions. Countries that stand to lose are Russia's allies, and mostly the partner nations of BRICS. India and China have become the top two destinations for Russian oil, with India alone importing about 1.6 to 1.7 million barrels per day, which accounts for around 35 per cent of India's daily oil needs. Though not a major buyer of Russian oil and energy, South Africa does import some goods from Russia, including cereals, mineral fuels, inorganic chemicals, and salt. Brazil, a major agricultural economy, is one of the largest buyers of Russian fertilisers, a key input for its production of soybeans, sugar, and coffee. In West Asia, the United Arab Emirates, a significant BRICS member, functions as a financial conduit for Russian energy transactions. Dubai may not be a primary consumer of Russian oil, but it has become a financial sanctuary for Russian capital and oligarch wealth. Another BRICS member, Vietnam, also maintains energy and defence ties with Moscow. Interestingly, Turkey, a NATO member, remains heavily reliant on Russian fossil fuels, including both crude oil and natural gas. It should be noted that Trump has been targeting BRICS ever since the Rio summit concluded. Whether it was the BRICS' joint declaration condemning US airstrikes on Iran or Trump's rising tariffs, the US President has been warning BRICS nations against de-dollarisation too. The result? Trump's tariff tirade continues, and the latest threat of sanctions is not just to bring Moscow to the negotiating table but also to challenge a grouping like BRICS that represents emerging economies and the Global South, which is a significant counterweight to the G7. The timing stands out even more after NATO's choreographed commitment to raise their annual defence budgets to 5% of national income within a decade, a tribute to a president prone to flattery.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sells another $37 million in stock as China chip sales resume
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has sold an additional 225,000 shares of the chipmaker, amounting to approximately $37 million, as reported in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A report said that this sale is part of a prearranged plan, adopted in March, allowing Huang to sell up to 6 million shares of the US-based GPU and artificial intelligence (AI)-chipmaking company. Huang began trading stock last month, and his most recent transaction, disclosed last Friday, also involved 225,000 shares, valued at around $36 million. According to CNBC, since Huang started selling stock this year, he has offloaded a total of 1.2 million shares, accumulating approximately $190 million, according to InsiderScore. In his prearranged plan from last year, he cashed in over $700 million. Huang wasn't the only stakeholder to sell Nvidia shares; board member Brooke Seawell also sold $16 million worth of stock. Increased demand for AI chips boosts Huang's net worth The soaring demand for AI and the graphics processing units (GPUs) that power large language models (LLMs) have boosted Huang's net worth and propelled Nvidia past a $4 trillion market capitalisation, making it the most valuable company globally. This surge has placed Huang's net worth above that of Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett on Bloomberg's Billionaire Index. Nvidia to resume selling H20 chips in China The development comes days after Nvidia announced this week that it plans to soon restart sales of its H20 chips to China. The Trump administration indicated it would approve the necessary export licenses. Earlier this year, the administration had stated that Nvidia would require such licenses to ship these chips, which were specifically designed for the Chinese market.
