He noted, "The Grand Vision lays a practical foundation for climate-positive action. Corporate participation is critical to achieving these shared environmental goals." His statement reflected the broader call for businesses to step forward as key allies in sustainability efforts.
The event also featured demonstrations of Save Earth Mission's technology platforms, including AI-powered tools for climate data analytics and real-time environmental monitoring. Delegates were introduced to the campaign's official communication materials and the organization's digital dashboards designed to track tree growth and carbon impact in participating regions.
Save Earth Mission's Global Vision Unveiling event has reinforced its commitment to actionable climate leadership. With its global tree plantation campaign commencing in over 60 countries this August, the organization is mobilizing a truly international movement for environmental restoration and sustainability.

India Eyes Fall Deadline for US Deal as Trump Threatens Tariffs
Indian officials are planning to continue negotiating with the US for a bilateral trade deal by fall of this year even if US President Donald Trump follows through with threatened tariffs this week, people familiar with the matter said. New Delhi is less optimistic about securing an interim agreement with the Trump administration before an Aug. 1 deadline when higher US duties kick in, the people said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. If India is slapped with higher duties on its imports this week, officials see this as a temporary measure until talks on a broader bilateral deal are concluded in the fall, they said.

Trump tariffs live updates: No tariff pause announced after US-China talks; Trump plans 20–25% India tariffs
President Trump told reporters that India may be hit with a tariff rate of 20% to 25% and cautioned that the final levy still hadn't been decided. This news comes days before Trump's Aug. 1 deadline, when nations who have not yet reached a deal will face higher tariffs. 'I think so,' Trump told reporters when asked if that was a possible tariff rate for New Delhi. 'India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country.' The US and China concluded their latest round of tariff and trade talks in Sweden on Tuesday, with both sides touting progress but without an immediate announcement of a further tariff delay. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Trump would make the final call on extending the trade truce between the world's two largest economies. This week's talks were the third round for the countries, which have slowly deescalated trade tensions since Trump imposed gargantuan tariffs in April, and China reciprocated. The countries suspended those tariffs for 90 days — a suspension that is set to end on Aug. 12. Bessent said another 90-day extension is possible. Meanwhile, the US and EU are racing to lock in the final details of their major new trade deal before President Trump's self-imposed Friday deadline to reach agreements with partners other than China. Critics say it's a rushed fix, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling the outcome unsatisfying and France's Bayrou dubbing the EU's "submission" a "dark day." The agreement includes a baseline tariff rate of 15% on most EU goods imported into the US. Trump called the deal 'the biggest of them all." Trump also confirmed on Monday that 15% represents the new tariff "floor" for countries, whose rates he has been dictating to leaders in the absence of trade deals. 'For the world, I would say it'll be somewhere in the 15% to 20% range,' Trump said in Scotland as he met with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Last week, Trump said those letters dictating tariff rates for over 200 countries would go out soon while his administration works to clinch deals with larger trade partners. Still in focus are potential deals with Canada, Mexico, and India, among others. Trump also touted a deal with Japan that included a $550 billion investment in the US and a 15% tariff on goods imported into the US from Japan. Japan said Tuesday its trade deal with the US eased policy uncertainty but warned US trade actions could still weigh on its economy.

More from Reuters: Brazil is facing 50% tariffs on its exports to the US from Friday. That is among the highest rates Trump has threatened in his new round of sweeping tariffs.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added Tuesday that it was "a very fulsome two days" of talks and that another 90-day pause remains on the table with the overall tone of talks being "very constructive." Trump himself was asked later in the afternoon about the chances of approval, telling reporters on Air Force One he had just spoken to Bessent and that he would decide after a briefing but that Bessent felt good about Tuesday's meeting.

Trump Says India May Get 20% to 25% Tariff But Not Yet Final
(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump said that India may be hit with a tariff rate of 20% to 25%, while cautioning that the final levy still hadn't been finalized as the nations negotiate a trade deal ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline. The World's Data Center Capital Has Residents Surrounded An Abandoned Art-Deco Landmark in Buffalo Awaits Revival Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild San Francisco in Talks With Vanderbilt for Downtown Campus Boston's Dumpsters Overflow as Trash-Strike Summer Drags On 'I think so,' Trump told reporters Tuesday when asked if that was a possible tariff rate for New Delhi. 'India has been a good friend, but India has charged basically more tariffs than almost any other country,' Trump said aboard Air Force One as he returned to Washington from a five-day visit to Scotland. 'You just can't do that.' The Indian rupee extended a three-day decline on the tariff threat, while the BSE Sensex gave up early gains to trade flat. The local currency fell as much as 0.5% to 87.24 to the dollar. Any rate 20% or higher would come as a disappointment for India, which had been seeking a better deal than the 19% that Trump offered Indonesia and the Philippines. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that the US and India were working toward an agreement that would reduce proposed tariffs to below 20%, even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration resisted demands to open up the agricultural and dairy sectors. India and the US have already signed terms of reference for a bilateral trade deal and have agreed to a fall deadline for that. The two sides have been negotiating an interim agreement that New Delhi hoped would give it a reprieve from higher US import duties due to kick in on Friday. Officials in India are still awaiting word from the White House on the extent of tariffs the South Asian nation will face this week, an official told reporters in New Delhi earlier this week, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private. An interim deal remains unlikely for now, but India is optimistic about reaching a trade agreement by fall, the official added. India and the US have held five rounds of talks so far and a trade team from Washington is expected to visit New Delhi by mid-August, the person said. India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry didn't respond to an email seeking comments on Wednesday. Relations with the US have hit some turbulence in recent months. Trump's insistence that his trade threats prompted India and Pakistan to reach a ceasefire in April incensed officials in New Delhi, and the US president has also threatened 'secondary tariffs' on India, China and other buyers of Russian oil if President Vladimir Putin doesn't end hostilities with Ukraine. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Monday that the US needed more time for talks with India to gauge the country's willingness to open its market more to American exports. Reuters reported earlier Tuesday that New Delhi is bracing for higher tariffs likely between 20% and 25%. Follow Bloomberg India on WhatsApp for exclusive content and analysis on what billionaires, businesses and markets are doing. Sign up here. India has conveyed to the Trump administration the red lines it won't breach in finalizing an agreement, Bloomberg reported earlier this month, citing officials familiar with the matter. New Delhi won't allow the US to export genetically modified crops to the country, and is unwilling to open widely its dairy and automobile sectors, the people said, asking not to be identified because the discussions are private. India has expressed willingness to offer zero tariffs on some goods such as auto components and pharmaceuticals. Modi's government has taken a more cautious stance as it faces pressure to protect India's politically sensitive farm sector. Millions depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and farmers form a key voting bloc for Modi's party, which faces a crucial state election in the coming months. The president was commenting ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline when a slew of so-called reciprocal tariffs are set to take effect on dozens of trading partners. Trump announced higher levies in April, before pausing those tariffs at a reduced 10% rate to allow time for negotiations. Despite an extended deadline, Trump has only secured a handful of deals. —With assistance from Jon Herskovitz, Shruti Srivastava, Malcolm Scott, Ruchi Bhatia, Diksha Madhok, Subhadip Sircar and Shadab Nazmi.
