'Differences Can't Be Resolved Overnight': Top US Official On India-US Trade Deal
Last Updated: The 25 per cent figure would single out India more severely than other major trading partners, and threaten to unravel months of talks between the two countries. As the United States announced a tariff of 25 per cent on India, a top US official said that the differences between the two nations cannot be resolved overnight to arrive at a trade deal. Speaking to the reporters late on Thursday, he said, 'Our challenges with India—they've always been a pretty closed market… there are a host of other kinds of geopolitical issues." 'You've seen the president express concern about, you know, membership in BRICS, purchases of Russian oil and that kind of thing," he added. The official stated that there were constructive discussions with India on the subject, adding, 'These are complex relationships and complex issues, and so I don't think things can be resolved overnight with India." His remark came after US President Donald Trump on Wednesday had said that the trade deal with India was still being negotiated, hours after he announced a 25 per cent tariff on goods imported from the country starting on Friday. The 25 per cent figure would single out India more severely than other major trading partners, and threaten to unravel months of talks between the two countries, undermining a strategic partner of Washington's and a counterbalance to China. However, New Delhi has pushed back against these demands, pointing to its historic relationship with Russia and its own economic interests. BRICS, which counts India among its core members, has been described by Trump as adversarial to the U.S. The group has rejected this portrayal, insisting its purpose is to champion the collective interests of its members and other developing economies.

Beijing Official Admits Failures In Deadly Floods: 'Putting People First Is More Than A Slogan'
Last Updated: A top city official acknowledged gaps in preparedness after devastating floods killed 44 people and displaced thousands across Beijing. A top Beijing official publicly admitted to government failings in the city's response to catastrophic flooding, marking a rare moment of accountability amid mounting public scrutiny. Yu Weiguo, the Communist Party secretary for Miyun district- one of the hardest-hit areas- said that there were 'gaps" in the city's flood preparedness and that authorities had underestimated the severity of the storm. Yu Weiguo said, 'There were gaps in our preparatory plans. Our knowledge of extreme weather was lacking. This tragic lesson has warned us that putting the people first, putting human life first, is more than a slogan." The floods, triggered by record-breaking rainfall, have so far killed at least 44 people, with nine still missing as a staggering year's worth of rain fell in just seven days across Beijing and surrounding areas. The extreme weather impacted more than 300,000 people, forcing 80,000 evacuations and leaving over 100 villages without power. Residents in flood-prone regions like Miyun and Yanqing said that they received little to no warning before the storm struck. Among the confirmed deaths, 31 occurred at a nursing home in Taishitun, a town in Miyun, where many residents had limited mobility. Yu Weiguo expressed 'deep mourning" for the victims, many of whom were elderly and unable to escape in time. Beijing's Infrastructure Shortcomings Exposed City authorities admitted that disaster prevention infrastructure in Beijing's mountainous outer districts remains underdeveloped and said existing response plans were insufficient to handle such unprecedented rainfall. Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping urged all departments to 'make every effort to protect people's lives and property."
