There are a lot of talks but no deals made yet

Even Japan did not settled for a deal despite being forced to wear the stupid MAGA cap

Everyone is waiting for a deal with China first as it will ascertain whether their position in the negotiations

If China concede a lot, all the other countries will have to concede too but if US concede to China, all other countries will have more bargaining power

If you’re the leader of a nation, what will you do first?

Expect India to strike first trade pact: US Treasury Secy Scott Bessent
https://www.rediff.com/money/report/expect-...nt/20250425.htm

Once reach this stage, it is basically settled liao, waiting for orange man to announce only. Most likely within the next few days because his 100 days celebration is on Wednesday and he needs a win somewhere.

“India also has fewer non-tariff trade barriers, obviously, no currency manipulation, very, very little government subsidies, so that reaching a deal with the Indians is much easier,” Bessent said at the Washington DC event on the sidelines of the annual World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings.

India to scrap US$23b manufacturing scheme as red tape, missed targets stall progress
https://www.malaymail.com/news/money/2025/0...google_vignette

Instead, many firms that participated in the programme failed to kickstart production, while others that met manufacturing targets found India slow to pay out subsidies, according to government documents and correspondence seen by Reuters. As of October 2024, participating firms had produced US$151.93 billion worth of goods under the programme, or 37 per cent of the target that Delhi had set, according to an undated analysis of the programme compiled by the commerce ministry. India had issued just US$1.73 billion in incentives — or under 8 per cent of the allocated funds, the document said.

I have said this before, this is a very good move by India. Even before the deal is announced, the fact that Vance visited India should net Modi some serious political points.

There are still risks, the biggest being orange man himself. But no risk, no gain, I guess. If no risk, everyone else would have rushed in by now.

On India's side, there are still many problems, many already mentioned by LKY and still existing today. Whether they make it or not, remains to be seen. But for now, props to India, they saw an opportunity and they struck while the iron is hot.
