‘Deals Working Out Very Well’: Trump Talks Sweet About ‘Good Friend’ India, Hints At Bitter 25% Tariff | World News
Washington: In the Air Force One, President Donald Trump returned and spoke to journalists as much as he could comment on the weather. However, his words, especially for India, carried weight. He left only a few days from the last date of August 1, and said that the things between Washington and the new Delhi were “working very well”. However, tariffs of up to 20% to 25% can be on the road.
He didn’t get the comment anywhere. A reporter asked the new Delhi that India could be ready for upright new tasks. Trump speculation shaken, but clarified his posture. “India has basically demanded more tariffs from other countries over the years. But now I’m responsible. And you can’t do it,” he said.
Although there is no official communication with India so far, and there is no signed letter like those sent to other nations, the possibility of new tariffs is too much at the table. Despite the tense lower tone, Trump said to India, “a good friend.”
In April, the Trump administration had already slapped a 26% tariff in Indian imports, but later hit the brakes and described them as “mutual” measures that could be revised.
On the Indian side, the mood was more optimistic. Speaking on Sunday, Trade Minister Piyuh Goyal said India negotiated from a power position.
“India negotiates from a power position today. This trust that constantly encourages us to make good trade agreements.
Foreign Minister Vikram Misri reiterated similar trust during his last trip to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in England. He said that India regularly touched US officials on the possibility of Indian bilateral trade agreement (BTA), but these talks are handled under a separate way.
After the Signing of the Indian-England Free Trade Agreement, Misri said, “The only thing I can say is that our participation continues.
On July 14, a senior Indian official said that the government was progressing with Washington with “concrete progress ve, and that both nations defined the agreement as something that is determined to conclude under the leadership of Modi and Trump.
India’s goal? A win-win agreement. Authorized, “We act in terms of a BTA. We are looking at a mutual useful agreement,” he said.
However, it wasn’t the only card trade that Trump played in the air that day.
He also reserved a minute to think about what he called the role of the conflict between India and Pakistan in the early this year. Standoff began after 26 alleged terrorist attacks in April 22, expensive. The extensive response to India’s Sindoor Operation contained the targeted strikes in Nine terror camps in Pakistan and in Pakistan occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Trump claimed to have helped to investigate peace.
“Look, India, they are my friends and my friend. And you know that they had finished the war with Pakistan, and I was great, and I made Pakistan.
However, India presented a different version of the events. According to the new Delhi, Pakistan’s first move was the General Manager of Military Operations, which reached an Indian colleague to ask for a ceasefire. But then hostility was comfortable.
Trump’s version continues, whether or not, trade and geopolitics are once connected to each other, India and the United States carefully maneuver and every step is closely monitored.
