New Delhi: US President Donald Trump on Thursday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said Washington and New Delhi will soon reach a trade deal.Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said that India benefited from trade imbalance for years, but now the situation has changed.Trump said, “I like your Prime Minister very much. He is a good friend of mine and we have a good relationship. We have a good relationship.”He said, “For years, India took advantage of the United States. They charged us huge fees and did not pay anything. Now it is quite the opposite and we are making a lot of money with India. But we will reach an agreement.”This comes amid ongoing efforts by both countries to strengthen economic ties and resolve long-standing trade issues.India and the United States concluded four-day trade talks in New Delhi between June 1 and June 4, in which officials from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), led by the Chief Negotiator, discussed with Indian counterparts issues such as trade in goods, customs procedures, trade facilitation, non-tariff barriers and economic security cooperation.Both sides described the talks as constructive and said efforts are underway to conclude a mutually beneficial interim trade agreement, while negotiations on a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement (BTA) continue in parallel.Momentum toward a deal has strengthened in recent weeks. US Ambassador to India Sergio Gore said that talks are nearing completion, with only a limited number of issues still unresolved. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has similarly indicated that while most of the matters have been resolved, discussions now focus on finalizing the remaining details before the unveiling of the first phase of the agreement.Despite talks progressing, concerns remain over the Trump administration’s possible move to impose additional 12.5% ​​tariffs on imports from 60 economies, including India.A separate USTR proposal could further complicate negotiations. The review, conducted under Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974, covers 60 economies and focuses on concerns over imports allegedly involving forced labour.Under the proposal, economies that have banned such imports could face tariffs of 10%, while economies that have not taken comparable measures could face duties of up to 12.5%. The economies under review include India, China, Japan, South Korea, United Kingdom, Bangladesh and Vietnam.US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said countries that do not adequately address imports involving forced labor create an uneven playing field for American workers. Despite uncertainty over tariffs, both New Delhi and Washington have continued to express confidence that an interim trade agreement can be finalized soon.

Chas Corrigan (killer) and Mohammed Algasim (victim)

A construction worker who stabbed a young Saudi student to death in an unprovoked attack in Cambridge, England, has been jailed for more than 22 years, the Daily Mail reports.Chas Corrigan, 22, was jailed for life with a minimum of 22-and-a-half years after being convicted of murdering 20-year-old Mohammed Algassim during a violent confrontation near the city center on August 1 last year.Algasim was attending an English language program in Cambridge and was spending his third summer in the city. He died after being hit on the neck with a large kitchen knife.Sentencing, Justice Dexter Dias Casey described the attack as an act of “senseless violence” fueled by alcohol, cocaine and anger.The judge said, “Probably no one will ever understand why Chas Corrigan did what he did.”He added, “It was virtually senseless violence. It was fueled by alcohol and cocaine and anger.” It was a lethal combination. Mohammed Algasim was an innocent member of the public. Most of his life was ahead of him. “That was taken away from him and it was taken away from his family.”Corrigan approached Algasim while he was sitting outside student housing with friends. The pair exchanged words and Corrigan initially walked away. However, after hearing another comment, which also included the word “center”, he turned back and confronted the student.Corrigan became aggressive, repeatedly demanding, “What did you say? What did you say?”As Algasim stood up with the mobile phone, Corrigan stabbed him in the neck before fleeing the scene.CCTV footage shown during the trial captured the moments after the attack, with the injured student running away in panic while Corrigan walked away before eventually running away.Friends attempted to save Algasim by following the 999 operator’s instructions and applying pressure to the wound. However, he collapsed and died the next morning.The post-mortem examination found that he had suffered a wound 4.5 inches deep, which had severed a major artery in his neck.Corrigan denied murder and claimed he acted in self-defense. She told jurors that she thought Algasim was going to “hurt me” and insisted that she did not realize he had attacked her with a knife.He said during the trial, “I didn’t think I’d hit him. I just thought I’d swing him. He was one step away and I thought I’d swing him between us.”He also claimed that he kept the knife for protection as he had been attacked before.However, prosecutors argued that Algasim posed no threat.Prosecutor Nicholas Hearn told the court, “Mr Algasim posed no threat to anyone. The defendant was the aggressor here.”It took jurors just two hours to convict Corrigan in March.Corrigan had drank large amounts of alcohol and taken cocaine before the attack. He admitted to drinking several alcoholic beverages and using cocaine twice that evening.Mohammed’s father Youssef Algassim described the devastating loss of his son.He said, “I prepared him for life, not death.”“Instead of looking at his accomplishments, I was faced with the unbearable reality of receiving his lifeless body.”He said Mohammed’s mother was devastated by the tragedy.“She is living as if she has no soul, holding on only to the memories of her laughter, her presence in our home, and her voice.”After the murder, Corrigan threw away the knife and his high-visibility jacket as he fled. His father, Peter Corrigan, later admitted assisting a criminal after helping to recover and dispose of evidence linked to the crime.The 51-year-old was sentenced to 24 months in prison.

New Delhi: Amid ongoing Indian efforts to diversify its oil supply, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Venezuela’s acting President Delsey Rodriguez and discussed ways to deepen energy partnership.The Latin American country, which tops the list of countries with the largest proven oil reserves, has emerged as one of the top crude oil suppliers to India in recent weeks.Although no agreement was signed, both sides focused on securing long-term energy contracts, citing “full complementarity” in the energy sector. In a post on Twitter, the PM said they held wide-ranging discussions on enhancing cooperation not only in energy but also in critical minerals, technology, agriculture, health and people-to-people ties.As India looks to diversify, Venezuela leads the way: Great opportunities existAs a valued partner in Latin America, our close cooperation with Venezuela is of vital importance to the Global South. We will continue to work together for the mutual benefit of the people of our nations,” the PM said.After effectively taking control of Venezuela’s oil industry, the US had put pressure on India to resume purchases from the country. India was one of the largest importers of Venezuelan crude in 2020 when it halted purchases due to US sanctions.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, ahead of his visit to India last month, had first announced that Rodriguez would visit India soon. According to officials, Rodriguez’s message was that Venezuela is open for business, and there are great opportunities for India as it looks to diversify its supplies at a time when the Strait of Hormuz is under siege from the US-Iran conflict.“Venezuela sees India as a stable demand for many years to come. Therefore, there is a complete complementarity both upstream and downstream to work in the energy sector,” said Rudrendra Tandon, Secretary (East) in the Ministry of External Affairs, adding that Venezuela has already emerged as the third largest supplier to India in terms of spot purchases this month.The discussions also focused on enhancing cooperation in sectors such as mining, agriculture, critical minerals and pharmaceuticals. Asked whether payment for the crude would be made directly to the US or Venezuelan government, the official said the actual work would be done by commercial entities in both the public and private sectors.“All of these companies operate on a global scale in global markets. Therefore, they have to consider the existing payment methods that will be adopted when carrying out economic activity in Venezuela,” Tandon said.On details of the energy partnership the two sides are considering, the official said oil exporters realize the importance of India as a stable and long-term buyer. “Therefore, it is in their interest to enter into long-term contracts rather than making spot purchases. We hope that at some stage, we will move to long-term secure supplies from all our suppliers,” the official said. He said the Indian refining industry is well equipped to handle Venezuela’s “hard” crude.The Ministry of External Affairs said that during her five-day working visit to India, Delsey Rodriguez will visit several sites related to the energy, pharmaceuticals and auto sectors to gain knowledge about India’s technological and industrial capabilities and explore opportunities for cooperation.
