US President Donald Trump claimed that India has offered a “zero tariffs” trade deal during his speech in Qatar, even as both nations negotiate under a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs. Trump, who imposed a 26% tariff on India in April, did not provide details on the offer. He also said he urged Apple CEO Tim Cook not to expand in India. Trump linked the recent India-Pakistan ceasefire to trade diplomacy, though Indian officials denied trade was discussed. Talks continue as both sides push to conclude a trade deal by fall 2025. India has not officially responded to Trump’s remarks. (PC: Reuters)
