'Where's the Trade Deal, Mr Trump?' Priyanka Chaturvedi Slams US President Over India-Pak Claims

/ Jul 19, 2025, 04:22PM IST Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi launched a fiery rebuttal to US President Donald Trump's repeated claims that a proposed US trade deal was behind the recent ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Reacting to Trump's sensational statement that 'five jets were shot down' and the US defused the crisis through trade diplomacy, Chaturvedi wrote on X: 'If Trump keeps repeating the trade deal got India and Pakistan to agree to a ceasefire, then how is it that India-US don't have a trade deal yet?' She further slammed Pakistan, saying, 'Even America knows there's no trade deal with Pakistan, there's only a terror deal because that's the only thing Pakistan excels in.' Trump's unverified 'five jets downed' claim and portrayal of the US as peace broker has drawn criticism and disbelief in India, with leaders across parties questioning his credibility and motives.#priyankachaturvedi #donaldtrump #indiapakistan #tradedeal #ceasefireclaim #trumpjetsclaim #shivsenaubt #usindiarelations #pakterror #trumpspeech #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews

India, US teams conclude fifth round of talks for proposed trade pact: Official

Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 19 (PTI) India and the US teams have concluded the fifth round of talks for the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) in Washington on July 17, an official said. The negotiations were held for four days (July 14-17) in Washington. 'The Indian team is coming back," the official said. India's chief negotiator and special secretary in the department of commerce Rajesh Agrawal leads the team for negotiations. These deliberations are important as both sides are looking at finalising an interim trade deal before August 1, which marks the end of the suspension period of the Trump tariffs imposed on dozens of countries including India (26 per cent). On April 2 this year, US President Donald Trump announced these high reciprocal tariffs. The implementation of high tariff was immediately suspended for 90 days till July 9 and later till August 1 as America is negotiating trade deals with a number of countries. Issues related to agriculture and automobiles are learnt to have figured during the fifth round of negotiations. Matters related to ways to deal with non-market economies, and SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies) also came up for discussions. India has hardened its position on the US demand for duty concessions on agri and dairy products. New Delhi has, so far, not given any duty concessions to any of its trading partners in a free trade agreement in the dairy sector. Certain farmers' associations have urged the government not to include any issues related to agriculture in the trade pact. India is seeking the removal of this additional tariff (26 per cent). It is also seeking the easing of tariffs on steel and aluminium (50 per cent) and the auto (25 per cent) sectors. Against these, India has reserved its right under the WTO (World Trade Organization) norms to impose retaliatory duties. The country is also seeking duty concessions for labour-intensive sectors, such as textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, garments, plastics, chemicals, shrimp, oil seeds, grapes, and bananas in the proposed trade pact. On the other hand, the US wants duty concessions on certain industrial goods, automobiles, especially electric vehicles, wines, petrochemical products, and agri goods, dairy items, apples, tree nuts, and genetically modified crops. The two countries are looking to conclude talks for the first tranche of the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by fall (September-October) this year. Before that, they are looking for an interim trade pact. India's merchandise exports to the US rose 22.8 per cent to USD 25.51 billion in April-June quarter this fiscal year, while imports rose 11.68 per cent to USD 12.86 billion.

Trump administration seeks release of Epstein grand jury records but not Justice Department files

Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump 's own supporters, his administration on Friday asked a federal court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein's case in an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of its own making. But even if those records become public, it's far from certain they will appease critics enraged over the administration's unfulfilled promises of full transparency about evidence against the wealthy financier. Meanwhile, the administration remains dogged by questions about its refusal to release other records in its possession after stoking conspiracy theories and pledging to uncover government secrets of the "deep state."

The latest development came Thursday when the Wall Street Journal described a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump's name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein's 50th birthday. Trump denied writing the letter, calling it "false, malicious, and defamatory." Live Events Shortly after the story was published, Trump said he had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to "produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval." "This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!" the president wrote on social media. Bondi then announced that the Justice Department would move Friday to ask the court to unseal the grand jury transcripts. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche filed the motion urging the court to release the transcripts. Courts are typically reluctant to release grand jury materials Grand juries decide whether there is enough evidence to bring an indictment, or a formal criminal charge, and their proceedings are secret to protect the reputations of people who end up not being charged and to encourage reluctant witnesses to testify. Grand jury transcripts - which could show the testimony of witnesses and other evidence presented by prosecutors - are rarely released by courts, unless they need to be disclosed in connection with a judicial proceeding. In fact, grand jury secrecy is such a sacrosanct principle under the law that government officials who improperly disclose testimony are subject to prosecution. Witnesses are not bound by those rules. Even with the Justice Department endorsement, it could take weeks or months of legal wrangling to decide what can be released and how to protect witnesses and other sensitive victim information. And it's unlikely the transcripts would shed any light on a major fascination of conspiracy theorists obsessed with Epstein's case: the financier's connections to other powerful figures whom some believe were involved in Epstein's sex trafficking scheme. Court have blocked the release of grand jury materials in other high-profile investigations. House Democrats in 2019 sought grand jury testimony from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation while Congress was conducting its impeachment inquiry into Trump. But the Justice Department successfully fought for years to keep the material secret. The administration could release other records right now The Justice Department's decision to seek grand jury transcripts gives the administration a reason to point to the courts to explain why more material hasn't yet been released. But the uproar over the Epstein files was never about the grand jury transcripts - it was about the thousands of other pages in the government's possession that the administration now says it won't release. Facing outrage after the first release of Epstein files flopped in February, Bondi said officials were poring over a "truckload" of previously withheld evidence she said had been handed over by the FBI. But after a monthslong review of evidence in the government's possession, the Justice Department determined that no "further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted." The Justice Department has yet to fully explain why none of that material could be released. It noted in its memo earlier this month that much of the material was placed under seal by a court to protect victims and "only a fraction" of it "would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial." Since then, Bondi has largely refused to answer questions from reporters about the matter. Congress' Epstein files resolution carries no legal weight House Republicans may vote next week on a resolution that seeks to appease GOP demands for more transparency on the Epstein case. The resolution calls on the Justice Department to publicly release records, but it carries no legal force. "The House Republicans are for transparency, and they're looking for a way to say that they agree with the White House," House Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday. "We agree with the president. Everything he said about that, all the credible evidence should come out." Democrats, with the support of nine Republicans, have advanced their own legislation that would require the Justice Department to release more information about the case.
