China may soon give death penalty for fentanyl traffickers, says Trump
US President Donald Trump said that China might soon begin giving the death penalty to people who make and send fentanyl into the United States. Trump claimed that the US and China are working on a deal to take strict action against fentanyl traffickers."I have a very good relationship with President Xi of China, but I imposed a 20% tariff on China because of the fentanyl. And I call it a penalty. It's a penalty because China delivers much of the fentanyl. Some people would say all of it. They deliver it into Mexico and even into our own country," Trump Trump just signed a bipartisan bill cracking down on fentanyl alongside Americans who shared heartbreaking stories about losing their children, and @FoxNews @CNN @MSNBC did not air the could be more important than this? Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) July 16, 2025advertisementTrump said that the tariff is meant to make up for the damage caused by the drug. He added, "We have a 20 per cent (tariff), so they pay billions of dollars and billions of dollars in damages for what they've done. And I think we're going to work it out so that China is going to end up going from that to giving the death penalty to the people that create this fentanyl and send it into our country, whether it's through other countries or directly." He also said he believed this kind of agreement should have been made years ago. "I believe that we would have had that deal a long time ago. I shook hands with them, and then we had a rigged election, and we had somebody else come in, and they didn't know anything about a deal for the death penalty," Trump President Trump signed legislation to amend the Controlled Substances Act regarding the scheduling of fentanyl-related legislation cannot bring back our loved ones lost to fentanyl, but it will prevent countless deaths. The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 16, 2025He added, "The death penalty is going to be imposed on people from China who make fentanyl and send it into our country. I believe that's going to happen soon. But as of today, all fentanyl related substances will be banned forever, and those who traffic in these deadly poisons will be put behind bars for a very long period of time."TRUMP BLAMES BIDEN FOR 'WORST DRUG CRISIS IN HISTORY'Trump lashed out at former President Joe Biden and blamed him for the current fentanyl crisis in the US. According to Trump, Biden's open-border policy made the problem worse."Today, we strike a righteous blow to the drug dealers, narcotic traffickers, and criminal cartels... and we take a historic step toward justice for every family touched by the fentanyl scourge," Trump added, "So, six months ago, we came into office and inherited the worst drug crisis in American history by far. They did nothing. For four long years, Joe Biden surrendered our borders to the most evil and vicious traffickers, networks, and everything else on the planet Earth, allowing foreign drug cartels to carve out a massive footprint."Trump said that the flow of illegal drugs and criminals through open borders has caused huge problems for law enforcement. "This open borders nightmare flooded our country with fentanyl and with people that shouldn't be here, some of the worst people on Earth," he added, "Illicit drugs decimated American communities and left us with the largest law enforcement challenge in our country's history, and hopefully will always be the largest. I can't imagine anything being worse."- EndsWith inputs from Agencies Tune InMust Watch

NITI Aayog suggests services focused trade deal with US
New Delhi: NITI Aayog on Monday suggested that India should follow the model of the India-UK agreement to pursue a services-oriented trade deal with the US, with special focus on information technology, financial services, professional services, and education. The Aayog in its third edition of 'Trade Watch Quarterly' said there will be significant opportunities for India in the US markets both in terms of the number of products and volume of the US market. "Building on the model of the India-UK agreement, India should pursue a services-oriented trade deal with the US, placing strong emphasis on key sectors such as information technology, financial services, professional services, and education," it said. The government thinktank said the agreement should include robust provisions for digital trade, creating a framework for enhanced cross-border service delivery. The Aayog also emphasised that India must advocate for improved visa access for its professionals, particularly under H-1B and L-1 categories. "This should include provisions for intra-corporate transferees and independent service providers, which are crucial for maintaining India's competitive edge in the global services industry," it growing global demand for Digitally Delivered Services (DDS), the Aayog said India should seek firm market access commitments from the US in high-growth areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, telecom, and design services. "Leveraging India's strengths in these sectors can help increase bilateral trade and innovation-led growth," it said. Observing that regulatory barriers such as inconsistent data compliance and intellectual property concerns hinder Indian service exports, the Aayog said joint efforts between India and the US are needed to simplify licensing procedures and address cross-border data flow issues, enabling smoother market access for Indian firms. The government thinktank also said that to expand professional opportunities, India should push for broader Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) that cover a wider range of professions, including engineers, architects, and healthcare workers. "These agreements would streamline certification processes and facilitate the mobility of Indian professionals to the US," it said.

‘Very close to trade deal with India': Trump says EU deal also possible as tariff deadline looms
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday hinted at reaching a new trade agreement with India soon, while a trade deal with the European Union could also possibly be finalised but it would be too soon to say if a deal with Canada can be agreed upon as the tariff deadline looms. The Trump administration has been negotiating trade deals with America's trading partners for better trading relations and to balance a huge US trade deficit ahead of the deadline of August 1, when duties on most of the US imports are set to rise. The US has been able to finalise deals with the UK, Vietnam, Indonesia and plans are in final stage for some smaller countries in Africa and the Caribbean. During an interview with Real America's Voice on Wednesday, Trump was asked which trade deals were on the horizon and he responded saying, 'We're very close to India, and…we could possibly make a deal with (the) European Union.' The comments by the US president come as an Indian delegation arrived in Washington on Monday to discuss and finalise trade deals. The EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic was also on the way to Washington on Wednesday for tariff discussions. Talking about the EU's trade deal, Trump said 'The European Union has been brutal, and now they're being very nice. They want to make a deal, and it'll be a lot different than the deal that we've had for years,' Reuters reported. However, when asked to detail about the trade agreements with Canada which is also, like the EU, preparing countermeasures if the talks with the US fail to produce a deal, Trump said 'Too soon to say.' On Tuesday, Trump had said the United States is working on a deal that could give it access to the Indian markets as he announced a trade deal with Indonesia wherein Jakarta will face a reduced tariff rate of 19%.
