Trump’s “Very Big” Announcement On India-US Trade Deal | Signs Trade Deal With China, India Next?

Speaking at the ‘Big Beautiful Event’ at the White House, Donald Trump hinted at a “very big” trade deal with India, weeks after high-level bilateral talks concluded in Washington. The potential agreement, focused on boosting market access and slashing tariffs, could push annual trade from $190B to $500B by 2030. Trump also confirmed a trade deal with China targeting rare earth shipments. As global trade tensions simmer, India finds itself at the heart of U.S. trade strategy under Trump’s renewed protectionist yet high-stakes approach to bilateral negotiations. #TrumpIndiaDeal #USIndiaTrade #ModiTrump #TradeAgreement #TrumpSpeech #USChinaDeal #IndiaEconomy #USIndiaRelations #BigBeautifulEvent #Trump2025 #RareEarths #USIndiaTradeTalks #PiyushGoyal #RajeshAgrawal #BilateralTrade #GlobalMarkets #USIndiaBusiness #IndiaUSAlliance #AmericaFirst #TrumpTrade ~HT.178~ED.346~GR.122~

In a moment that instantly went viral, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance raised his middle fing@r on live TV during a fiery GOP event in Lima, Ohio—just moments after Donald Trump dropped an F-bomb over the broken Iran-Israel ceasefire. Vance used the gesture to mock Washington’s political culture, joking, “In D.C., this means we’re number one!” He took direct aim at “pink-haired people,” a jab widely interpreted as a swipe at progressive critics. #JDVance #VanceMiddleFinger #MiddleFingerMoment #VanceFlipsBird #JDVanceViral #VanceFingerFlip #VanceGOPDinner #JDVanceGesture #VicePresidentVance #VanceControversy #GOPDrama #JDVanceVideo #ViralMiddleFinger #VanceBacklash #JDVanceScandal ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~
