President Donald Trump has announced a major trade corridor connecting India, Israel, Italy and the United States.

This ambitious project aims to reshape global trade with extensive investments in ports, railways and undersea cables.

The announcement came during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House on Thursday.

“We agreed to work together to help build one of the greatest trade routes in all of history. It will run from India to Israel to Italy and onward to the United States, connecting our partners by ports, railways and undersea cables. Many, many undersea cables. It’s a big development. It’s a lot of money going to be spent and we’ve already spent some, but we’re going to spending a lot more,” Trump said.
