Former US President Donald Trump said in South Korea that the United States and India will soon sign a long-awaited trade deal. Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him “the nicest-looking guy” and said both leaders share a strong friendship. The deal has faced delays due to disputes over tariffs, Russian oil imports, and access to India’s farm markets. Reports suggest both sides have agreed to reduce tariffs and limit oil imports from Russia. Trump also repeated his claim of helping stop an India-Pakistan conflict, though India has denied his role in any ceasefire. (PC: NDTV)
