Indian-American lawmakers have expressed hope that more Indian-Americans will be elected to the US Parliament in the future. They said on Friday that they are looking forward to welcoming more Indian-Americans in the Congress in the future. This time six Indian-American lawmakers have been elected to the House of Representatives. These include Ami Bera, Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamurthy, Shri Thanedar, Pramila Jayapal and Suhas Subramaniam.

Ami Bera, the most senior Indian American Congressman in the House of Representatives, said, When I first took office in 2013, I was the only Indian American member of Congress and the third ever to be elected to the House of Representatives. With the election of Suhas Subramaniam from Virginia, our group has grown to a record six members. I look forward to welcoming even more Indian American Congressmen in the future.

Jaipal said- proud to be an Indian woman

Pramila Jayapal said, I am proud to be the only Indian-origin woman to be elected to the House of Representatives. Khanna, Krishnamurthy, Thanedar and Subramaniam also expressed their views. The first Indian-origin member of the Congress was Dalip Singh Saund. After him, 'Bobby' Jindal was a member of the House of Representatives.

While Trump is president, his company will be able to do business with foreign companies

A company linked to President-elect Trump's family on Friday issued a voluntary ethics agreement that allows the company to deal with private foreign companies, a move that could help outside powers gain influence in the new administration.

The ethics white paper bars the Trump Organization from making direct deals with foreign governments but allows deals with private companies abroad, a major change from Trump's first term, when the ethics agreement Trump signed eight years ago barred deals with both a foreign government and a foreign company.

Trump's company has made this announcement

Trump's company also announced it would commit to a number of safeguards from his first term to prevent his personal financial interests from shaping policy. That includes hiring an outside ethics adviser to scrutinize deals. "The Trump Organization is dedicated not only to meeting but also to fulfilling its legal and ethical obligations while my father was president," Executive Vice President Eric Trump said.

Amid Trump's threat, Canada is preparing for retaliatory tariff action

US President-elect Donald Trump has said he will impose a 25 per cent tariff from his first day in office if Ottawa fails to stop the flow of drugs across the border. This has caused a stir in Canada. Meanwhile, a CNN report has revealed that Canada is also preparing to retaliate.

It says that if Trump implements his plan to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, Canada will retaliate with a detailed list of tariffs on American goods. Two sources have told CNN that Canadian officials are working on a list of dozens of American products that the US exports to Canada. It is targeting those goods, which can cause major economic damage as well as send a political message.

Canada will ban these products

The list includes ceramic products, steel products, furniture, some alcoholic beverages such as bourbon and Jack Daniels whisky, and other goods. Canada could impose taxes on energy products it exports to the US. However, sources said nothing has been decided yet and the list could eventually change or not be implemented at all.

If tariffs are imposed on Canadian products, it will have adverse consequences

Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said in Ottawa on Friday that I think we have to be prepared. Joly said, "I think when Trump talks, we need to take him very seriously." It will be important for Trump and those advising him to know that if he imposes tariffs on Canadian products, there will be consequences.
