India Expresses Willingness for US Trade Deal

News: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed India’s willingness to sign a comprehensive trade deal with the U.S., but emphasized safeguarding the interests of farmers and livestock-reliant communities.

While India supports stronger ties with global powers, it won’t compromise domestic livelihoods.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is advancing President Trump’s $3.8–$4 trillion ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ featuring tax cuts, border enforcement, and spending reductions. Critics warn of increased deficits and loss of healthcare coverage. As the U.S. restructures domestically, India aims to balance global trade partnerships with internal economic stability and inclusive growth.
