India and the 27-nation European Union (EU) bloc will start the tenth round of negotiations for a proposed free trade agreement from Monday in Brussels amid Trump tariff threats, according to an official.

Donald Trump is threatening to slap a massive 250% tariff on lumber and diary imports from Canada, as tensions continue to rise between the two North American neighbours. The threat comes despite the US President agreeing to expand the number of goods exempted from his new 25% levies on Canada and Mexico introduced last week.
