<h1>Opposition demands transparency on trade deal after learning details from foreign announcements</h1> Senior opposition leader criticized the government for lack of transparency regarding US President's claims about a major trade deal that would 'open up' the country. The former commerce minister demanded clarification and called for opposition consultation on the proposed agreement. He emphasized that any trade deal should be mutually beneficial, protect national interests, and maintain multilateral trade commitments.
