'We Have Issues with..': Jaishankar Says India, US 'Actively Working' to Resolve ‘Unfair’ Trump Tariffs

External Affairs Minister Jaishankar emphasized respecting India’s non-negotiable terms amid ongoing tariff disputes and stalled talks in crucial sectors like agriculture, dairy, and manufacturing.

  • On October 5, 2025, S. Jaishankar said, `Today, we have issues with the United States... that we haven't yet arrived at a landing ground in our trade discussions` as India insists on respecting its 'red lines'.
  • The US tariff measures show India faces two 25% duties: a reciprocal tariff and a penalty linked to its Russian energy sourcing.
  • Five rounds of talks since March, including the latest in September, stalled over agriculture and dairy, with India negotiating on 50 per cent of tariffs, Trade Minister Piyush Goyal said.
  • Jaishankar said a large part of the India-United States relationship continues as business as usual despite trade issues, and he hopes tariff disputes do not affect other engagements.
  • Because the US is the world's largest market, S. Jaishankar said India seeks a trade understanding while pursuing FTAs with the UK and EU and protecting farmers in the coming years.
