Corn in USA: Howard Lutnick says buy it or else...
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is escalating trade tensions with India, threatening market access unless it buys US corn.

This hardline stance, criticized by some as misrepresentative, risks straining relations even where accommodation is possible, as trade disputes continue.
