Bangladesh-like zero tariff for Indian textiles in US? Piyush Goyal's big claim
A day after the Trump administration revised its US-India trade deal factsheet, walking back on certain terms, more concessions are likely in store for New Delhi. Union Minister Piyush Goyal, on Thursday, in a big reveal, said India would also receive textile-related trade benefits similar to those extended to Bangladesh by the US. The minister, who has been at the forefront of trade negotiations with the US, suggested that, like Bangladesh, Indian textiles are also expected to get zero-tariff access to the US on garments made using American cotton once the final deal is signed.

India on Monday said it has not held bilateral talks with the United States on deploying naval vessels to secure merchant shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The clarification came after US President Donald Trump urged countries to send warships to keep the strategic waterway open amid tensions with Iran.

This moment comes days after the Supreme Court allowed Harish Rana to die with dignity – a historic first court-ordered case of passive euthanasia in India. The court acknowledged the medical opinion that Rana will never recover and that the tubes that feed him and keep him alive are only prolonging his pain.
