Washington DC: The USA President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that tariff negotiations with India is going great. A trade deal between the two countries will be signed soon.
Speaking to media personnel outside White House over the India USA tariff deal, Trump said, “I think we’ll have a deal with India. The Prime Minister, as you, know was here three weeks ago, and they want to make a deal.”
Earlier in the day, the US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent said that trade negotiations with India re moving well. He added that, “It is easier to negotiate with India than many other countries.
“We are very close on India and it is easier to negotiate with India than many other countries because they have very high tariffs…So it is much easier to confront the direct tariffs as we go through these unfair trade deals that have been put in over decades that the non-tariff trade barriers can be much more insidious and also harder to detect. So, a country like India, which has posted and ready tariffs, makes it much easier to negotiate with them. So I think the Indian negotiations are moving well,” he said.
Bessent also referred to the visit of US Vice President JD Vance to India.
PM Modi had visited the United States in February this year and held a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump.
The USA President completed 100 days of holding office today for which he carried out a rally in Michigan.
