India-U.S. Trade Deal Gives Exporters Tariff Edge; Trident Sees Volumes, Profits Rising

India’s export-oriented sectors are set to benefit from the new India-U.S. trade framework, with reciprocal tariffs fixed at 18%, lower than competing nations such as Vietnam and Bangladesh. Speaking to Business Today, Trident Chairman Emeritus Rajendra Gupta said the reduced tariff creates a clear competitive advantage for Indian exporters, particularly in home textiles. Rajendra Gupta expects export volumes and profitability to improve over the next few quarters as U.S. retailers return to restocking and demand normalises. While margins may take time to recover fully, he remains optimistic about growth driven by rising volumes and expanding market access. He also highlighted fresh opportunities emerging from trade agreements with the EU and the UK, which could support capacity expansion and long-term export growth.

Assam Politics Explodes As CM Himanta Targets Congress MP Over Alleged Pak Links Ahead Of Polls

Political temperatures are rising in Assam after Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma launched explosive allegations against Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi. Sarma claimed possible Pakistan-linked connections involving Gogoi and his wife Elizabeth, a British national, citing inputs from an Assam SIT. He alleged professional links with Pakistan-based entities and an unusual engagement involving the Pakistan High Commission, calling for a probe by the Union Home Ministry. Gogoi, the Deputy Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and a close aide of Rahul Gandhi, strongly denied the charges, calling them baseless and politically motivated. With accusations and counterattacks flying, the high-stakes face-off intensifies ahead of Assam polls.

Epstein Files Expose How A Teen Was Lured Into A Calculated Pyramid Of Abuse Disguised As Mentorship

It began innocuously at a summer arts camp in Michigan, where a 14-year-old girl, identified as Jane, was drawn into the orbit of Jeffrey Epstein. A Justice Department probe reveals how Epstein masked predatory intent behind the persona of a wealthy arts patron, promising mentorship, scholarships, and access to elite networks. Jane was later moved to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, where the abuse escalated into a calculated recruitment scheme. Payments and incentives turned victims into recruiters, expanding what investigators describe as a “pyramid of abuse.” The files show this was not an isolated case, but a deliberate blueprint for a far-reaching exploitation network.

India-U.S. Trade Deal Triggers Political Storm As Congress Says Trump Wins, Modi Loses On Farmers

The India–U.S. trade deal has triggered sharp political sparring in New Delhi. The Congress attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mocking his bonhomie with Donald Trump and claiming the agreement favours American farmers at India’s expense. The party alleged India has opened its industrial and agricultural sectors, risking higher imports, lower exports, and a shrinking trade surplus. The Aam Aadmi Party echoed similar concerns, demanding accountability. The government pushed back strongly, with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal insisting farmers’ interests are fully safeguarded. As opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, raise the pitch, the political battle over the deal intensifies.

US Map On Trade Deal Shows Full J&K As India, Sending Sharp Signal To Pakistan And China

A map released by Washington to explain the interim India–U.S. trade deal has sent a strong diplomatic signal. In a quiet but consequential move, the administration of Donald Trump issued an official U.S. map depicting Jammu and Kashmir as fully integrated with India, including PoK and Aksai Chin, without dispute lines or disclaimers. The cartographic shift delivers a clear message to Pakistan and China, and signals a recalibration of India–U.S. ties where maps, not statements, underline strategic intent.
