Obama's India Trip
On the first day of his visit, the president unveiled a $10 billion export deal with India, saying it would create 54,000 jobs and spur economic growth. Obama painted the pact as a job creator and a rebuke to the caricature of India as a land of call centers and back offices that cost American jobs." Back home, the Senate's GOP leader Mitch McConnell, a vocal critic of the president’s trade policy, was "encouraged" by the deal, according to his spokesman.
