US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said a trade deal with India will move forward once New Delhi ends Russian oil imports. Speaking to CNBC, he said, “We’re going to sort out India,” linking progress to energy decisions. Lutnick earlier warned India would “say sorry” and return to talks under US pressure. His softer tone now comes after President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “dear friend.” Trump said trade talks are active and predicted success soon. Modi responded that India and the US are natural partners and future agreements will unlock “limitless potential” in their relationship. (PC: India Today)
