India Remains A Very Strategic Ally In Asia Pacific: US
Washington: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised India's role as a strategic ally in the Indo-Pacific region during a press briefing on Monday (US local time). She also highlighted the strong personal relationship between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Responding to a question from ANI about how the US views China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region, Leavitt said, "India remains a very strategic ally in the Asia Pacific and the President has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Modi, and he will continue to have that." The comments come as External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar is currently in the United States to attend the QUAD Foreign Ministers' Meeting. On Monday, he inaugurated an exhibition at the United Nations titled "The Human Cost of Terrorism," which aims to draw global attention to state-sponsored terrorism. The QUAD is a diplomatic partnership between Australia, India, Japan, and the United States. It is committed to supporting an open, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and resilient. The grouping's origin traces back to the joint humanitarian response to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Earlier, on June 18, it was confirmed that US President Donald Trump accepted Prime Minister Modi's invitation to attend the upcoming QUAD Summit in New Delhi later this year. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had shared details of the phone conversation that took place between the two leaders on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada. "For the next meeting of QUAD, PM Modi invited President Trump to India. While accepting the invitation, President Trump said that he is excited to come to India," Mr Misri said in a video message. The White House spokesperson's remarks on India's importance in the Indo-Pacific came shortly after she addressed another ANI question about a possible trade deal between India and the US. Addressing the media, Leavitt said, "Yes, the President said that last week (that the US and India are very close to a trade deal), and it remains true. I just spoke to our Secretary of Commerce about it. He was in the Oval Office with the President. They are finalising these agreements, and you'll hear from the President and his trade team very soon when it comes to India."

White House confirms US-India trade deal very close: ‘You'll hear from President Trump soon'
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday (US local time) confirmed that the United States and India are close to finalising a trade agreementeal. Her comments came shortly after Trump voiced optimism about finalising the trade pact with India. "The President said that last week (that the US and India are very close to a trade deal), and it remains true. I just spoke to our Secretary of Commerce about it. He was in the Oval Office with the President. They are finalising these agreements, and you'll hear from the President and his trade team very soon when it comes to India," Leavitt said at a press briefing, as reported by ANI. Earlier, while speaking about reciprocal tariffs, President Trump stated that the US is pushing for a "full trade barrier dropping" and greater access to the Indian market, though he admitted uncertainty about achieving that goal."India, I think we are going to reach a deal where we have the right to go and do trade. Right now, it's restricted. You can't walk in there, you can't even think about it. We are looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable and I am not sure that that is going to happen. But as of this moment, we agree that going to India and trade..." Trump said. During the briefing, Leavitt also praised India's role as a strategic ally to the US in the Indo-Pacific region. She also highlighted the strong personal relationship between Trump and PM Narendra Modi. Leavitt said, as reported by ANI, "India remains a very strategic ally in the Asia Pacific and the President has a very good relationship with Prime Minister Modi, and he will continue to have that."

When will the Hockey Canada sexual assault verdict be delivered? Judge sets crucial July 24 date
Justice Maria Carroccia is set to deliver the verdict on July 24 in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial (Getty Images) After nearly two months of intense testimony, legal arguments, and emotional revelations, the high-profile Hockey Canada sexual assault trial has officially concluded. Now, the spotlight shifts to July 24, the day Justice Maria Carroccia will deliver her long-awaited verdict that could reshape the lives and reputations of five NHL players and reignite national discussions around consent, power, and accountability in Canadian sports culture. Judge to deliver verdict in landmark case involving five NHL players on July 24 Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dubé, and Cal Foote each face charges of sexual assault stemming from a 2018 incident in a London, Ontario hotel room. The allegations, made by a woman referred to as E.M., claim the men engaged in non-consensual group sexual activity during a Hockey Canada event celebrating their World Junior Championship win. In her closing remarks, Crown attorney Meaghan Cunningham emphasized that E.M.'s compliance during the alleged acts should not be mistaken for consent. 'She's simply agreeing with him when he's making it clear what he wants her to say,' Cunningham said, referencing a video McLeod filmed where he allegedly coached E.M. into saying the sex was consensual. Cunningham and co-counsel Heather Donkers argued the defendants showed 'recklessness' and 'willful blindness,' particularly given E.M.'s by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 수완동 주민 대상 혜택! 청력 고민 있으시다면 무료로 보청기 체험 가능합니다 히어닷컴 Undo intoxication and vulnerability. 'Literally, any one of those men could have stood up and said, this isn't right. And no one did,' E.M. said in court. 'They didn't want to think about if I was actually OK or if I was actually consenting.' Defense attorneys for each player countered forcefully, attacking the Crown's legal reasoning and casting doubt on E.M.'s credibility. They argue she was the initiator of the group sex and later regretted the encounter, calling the case a result of 'tailored testimony' and a desire for civil compensation.

After discharging two juries earlier in the proceedings, she now holds sole responsibility for the verdict.
