Jun 26, 2025
Trade negotiations between India-US have come to a standstill due to sharp disagreements on import duties for auto components, steel, and agricultural products.
This impasse has dashed hopes of reaching an agreement before US President Donald Trump’s July 9 deadline to impose reciprocal tariffs, according to Indian officials familiar with the matter. The deadlock marks a significant shift from earlier optimism, when both sides suggested India could be among the first to strike a deal under the new US tariff regime.

Florida has commenced construction on a new, temporary migrant detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” situated deep within the Everglades. This remote, ecologically sensitive wetland—home to alligators, crocodiles, and pythons—will serve as a natural barrier for the facility, which is designed to minimize the need for traditional security infrastructure.
