President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. is on the brink of securing trade agreements with India and possibly the European Union, while a deal with Canada remains uncertain.

The Trump administration is negotiating these deals to achieve better terms as it approaches an August 1 deadline when duties on U.S. imports will increase. EU trade officials and an Indian delegation are in Washington for discussions.
