Trump Says US Could Reach Trade Deal with India, Casts Doubt on Deal with Japan
- India and the United States are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement in Washington, aiming to finalize an interim deal before the July 9 deadline in the next 48 hours.
- The discussions come after a 90-day halt to the 26 percent reciprocal tariffs that the Trump administration introduced on April 2, which will be reinstated if no deal is finalized.
- A major sticking point involves the US pushing for access to India’s agricultural and dairy markets, which India resists to protect the well-being of its farming communities, ensure food safety, and uphold its ban on genetically modified crops.
- President Trump expressed optimism about a deal, promising reduced tariffs, while Indian negotiators propose lowering average duties from 13 percent to 4 percent in exchange for tariff exemptions.
- Failure to conclude talks would trigger reinstatement of the 26 percent tariffs, impacting trade, but both countries remain hopeful for a successful interim agreement ahead of the deadline.
