Jason Miller, Trump's close confidant and registered foreign agent, met President Trump at the White House amid rising US-India tariff tensions. Miller heads the lobbying firm hired by India's government in April for $1.8 million annually to represent Indian interests in Washington. He shared a White House photo describing a "fantastic week" meeting Trump and others. The timing is significant as US-India trade relations face renewed scrutiny over tariffs and economic strategies. Miller, Trump's former chief media spokesperson from 2016, was initially set for White House communications director but withdrew after personal controversies. India pays his firm $150,000 monthly for strategic counsel and government relations assistance on policy matters before US institutions and stakeholders. (PC: X)
