Trump's Outburst Towards Netanyahu

A startling report has surfaced indicating that President Donald Trump expressed frustration towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Allegedly, Trump referred to him as 'crazy' and accused him of being ungrateful. This outburst reportedly stemmed from Israel's increasing military actions in Lebanon, which pose a risk to the ongoing peace negotiations.

In a related development, Trump suggested a new ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, claiming he communicated with the Iran-backed militia through intermediaries to secure a commitment that they would refrain from attacking Israel.

He also mentioned that Israel had consented to withdraw any troops that were poised to launch an attack on Lebanon. It is significant to note that no US President has previously engaged in dialogue with Hezbollah, whether directly or indirectly, as the group is classified as a terrorist organization by the United States.

On the domestic front, there are rumors regarding K Annamalai potentially departing from the BJP to establish a new political party. He has stated that he will clarify his position within the next two days. Annamalai traveled to Delhi from Chennai amidst rising speculation about his political trajectory.

Regarding the US-India trade agreement, India's Commerce and Industries Minister, Piyush Goyal, announced that the majority of the legal framework has been completed. However, the signing of the deal will only occur once there is clarity on the US's plans for tariffs after the current 10% levy expires next month.
