UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer praised the new trade deal with India, calling it “historic” and “fantastic.” He said the agreement would cut tariffs, create jobs, and boost the economy. Starmer criticised the Opposition for wanting to cancel the deal. He also accused former Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch of failing to close the deal in the past and misleading the public. The deal includes lower taxes on whisky, gin, and cars, and brings £4.8 billion into the UK economy. It still needs Parliament’s approval. Starmer said this shows the Labour government’s strong leadership and focus on trade and jobs. (PC: Reuters)
