"We've made a deal with the United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China."advertisementTrump suggested that while progress has been made with key partners, other nations unwilling to meet US terms will face new tariff notifications. "Others we met with, and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter," Trump said. "We're sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay."While Trump did not provide details about the structure or scope of the potential deal with India, he hinted at flexibility for countries with legitimate concerns."Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause," he added. "We're not going to be unfair about it." On Monday, Trump expanded tariffs on imports from Japan, South Korea, Myanmar, Laos, South Africa, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Tunisia, Indonesia, Bosnia, Bangladesh, Serbia, Cambodia, and tariff slabs will come into effect from August 1.

Netanyahu: Palestinian State would be platform to destroy Israel
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he wanted peace with Palestinians but described any future independent state as a platform to destroy Israel and for that reason sovereign power of security must remain with at the White House, where he met U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu described the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, where Hamas was in control, as evidence of what Palestinians would do with a said, "I don't know" when he was asked by reporters if a two-state solution was possible and referred the question to Netanyahu. Netanyahu said: 'After October 7th, people said the Palestinians have a state, a Hamas state in Gaza and look what they did with it. They didn't build it up. They built down into bunkers, into terror tunnels after which they massacred our people, raped our women, beheaded our men, invaded our cities and our towns, our kibbutzim and did horrendous massacres, the kind of which we didn't see since World War Two and the Nazis, the Holocaust. So people aren't likely to say, 'Let's just give them another state.' It'll be a platform to destroy Israel."We will work out a peace with our Palestinian neighbours, those who don't want to destroy us and we will work out a peace in which our security, the sovereign power of security, always remains in our hands," Netanyahu said."Now people will say, 'It's not a complete state, it's not a state, it's not that.' We don't care. We vowed never again. Never again is now. It's not going to happen again.'Palestinians have long sought to create an independent state in the occupied West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem through a U.S.-mediated peace process. Many accuse Israel of having destroyed Palestinian statehood prospects through increased settlement building in the West Bank and by levelling much of Gaza during the current war. Israel rejects ministers in Netanyahu's Likud party called last week for Israel to annex the Israeli-occupied West Bank before the Knesset recesses at the end of July. Israel's pro-settler politicians have been emboldened by the return to the White House of Trump, who has proposed Palestinians leave Gaza, a suggestion widely condemned across the Middle East and Gaza war erupted when Hamas attacked southern Israel in October 2023, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Some 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 believed to be subsequent assault on the Palestinian enclave has killed over 57,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. Most of Gaza's population has been displaced by the hosted Netanyahu at a White House dinner on Monday, while Israeli officials held indirect negotiations with Hamas in Qatar aimed at securing a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage-release deal.- EndsTune InMust Watch

'And he's said some really bad things about Jewish people.'advertisementTrump's comments come as Mamdani, 33, gains momentum in the early stages of his campaign for New York City mayor.

TRUMP ON ZOHRAN MAMDANI:"He's not a socialist he's a communist. And he's said some really bad things about Jewish people."#Trump turns up the heat, throwing heavy accusations at Zohran Mamdani, fueling controversy and sharpening political fault lines. Rizwan Shah (@rizwan_media) July 8, 2025 Trump didn't offer specifics to back his claim of anti-Jewish rhetoric but warned that Mamdani, if elected, could face serious consequences should he cross certain lines in office. 'He's going through a little bit of a honeymoon right now, (and) he might (win), but it all comes through the White House,' Trump said. 'He needs the money through the White House He's going to behave He better behave, otherwise he's going to have big problems.'The president's remarks were triggered by Mamdani's recent pledge to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu if he visits New York City — citing the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in whether the pledge concerned him, Netanyahu brushed it off. 'I'm not concerned about that,' the Israeli leader said before dinner with Trump. As Netanyahu responded, Trump jumped in: 'I'll get him out.''There's enough craziness in the world, but I guess it never ends,' Netanyahu added. 'This is appalling, and it's silly in many ways because it's just not serious.'Born in Kampala, Uganda, he is the son of acclaimed academic Mahmood Mamdani and celebrated Indian filmmaker Mira Nair. He moved to New York as a child and currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Syrian-born artist Rama Duwaji.- EndsWith inputs from Agencies Tune InMust Watch
