India, UK firm up trade pact

The British and Indian trade ministers have begun two days of talks to conclude more than three years of negotiations on a trade pact, under additional pressure to reach a deal because of Donald Trump’s tariffs on exports to the United States. Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal described his first day of talks in with British trade minister Jonathan Reynolds as “productive” in a post on X, without giving further details. India and Britain are both seeking bilateral deals with the United States to remove some of Trump’s tariffs, which have upended the global trade system. The turmoil has also sharpened focus in both London and New Delhi on the need to clinch a UK/India trade deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeated calls for Iran’s entire nuclear infrastructure to be dismantled, as Washington and Tehran engage in talks for a nuclear accord. The United States and Iran have so far held three rounds of indirect talks, mediated by Gulf state Oman, aimed at sealing a deal that would block Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon but also lift crippling economic sanctions imposed by Washington.

Carney, Poilievre make final pitches

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre have wound up their campaigns on a sombre note after at least 11 people died when a man drove through a crowd at a Filipino community festival in Vancouver. Sunday was the final day of a five-week campaign for Carney and Poilievre to make their pitches to voters ahead of an election that has centred largely on US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and threats to annex Canada. “It is true that (US) President (Donald) Trump has betrayed Canada,“ Carney said. “He’s betrayed Canada and he has ruptured the global economy. Our old relationship with the United States is over and broken.

China casts doubt on tariff talks

US President Donald Trump has asserted that tariff negotiations are under way with China, but Beijing denies any talks are taking place, the latest in a series of conflicting signals over a trade war threatening to sap global growth. Trump told Time magazine that talks were taking place and that Chinese President Xi Jinping had called him, an assertion he repeated to reporters as he was leaving the White House for Rome to attend the funeral of Pope Francis. ”China and the US are NOT having any consultation or negotiation on #tariffs,“ China shot back in a foreign ministry statement posted by the Chinese Embassy in the US. “The US should stop creating confusion.“
