India disputes Trump claim it is ready to charge US 'no tariffs'

LONDON — US President Donald Trump's claim that India has offered to drop all tariffs on goods imported from his country has been swiftly disputed by Delhi.In a statement to local news agencies India's foreign minister S Jaishankar countered the claim saying talks are still going on and "nothing is decided till everything is".The statement is in stark contrast to comments by Trump to reporters earlier in the day, when he declared Delhi had "offered us a deal where basically they are willing to literally charge us no tariff".India and the US are currently in talks to negotiate a trade agreement.Jaishankar said on Thursday that any trade deal has to be mutually beneficial and work for both countries."That would be our expectation from the trade deal.

Zelensky calls Russian delegation in Turkey phony as Putin skips peace talks

ANKARA — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will first meet with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and only then consider any next steps regarding the talks between Ukraine and Russia later on Thursday, according to reports.Upon his arrival in Ankara, Zelensky said Ukraine is represented in Turkey at the highest level, with the foreign ministry, the presidential office, the military, and the intelligence "to make any decisions that might lead to the expected and just peace."But that is not the case for the Russian delegation, he said, describing it as "theatrical"."We must understand what is the level of the Russian delegation, and what mandate do they have, whether they are capable of taking any decisions on their own.""Because we all...

US Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's order to end birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's push to end birthright citizenship is set to be argued at the US Supreme Court, in a case that could help further his agenda on immigration and other issues.The court will hear arguments on Thursday about whether lower court judges can block presidential orders for the entire country.Trump moved to end birthright citizenship within hours of returning to the White House in January, signing an order that said children who are born in the US to undocumented immigrants are not citizens.Three federal judges stopped it from taking effect, part of a pattern of courts blocking Trump's executive orders. Trump contends they did not have the power to issue the nationwide injunctions.If the Supreme Court agrees with Trump, then he could continue his wide use of...
