Trump Says India Has Proposed To Eliminate All Tariffs On US Imports

US President Donald Trump has reportedly claimed that India has proposed a sweeping trade agreement that would allow “basically zero tariffs” on a wide range of American goods. As reported by Reuters, the announcement came during his visit to Doha on Thursday, as part of a broader diplomatic tour across West Asia.

While addressing the media during the second leg of his regional tour, Trump said, “India offered US a deal, basically zero tariffs.” The remark hints at a significant shift in trade dynamics between the two countries, which have been locked in complex negotiations over tariffs and market access for over a year.

Trump’s comments build on his previous optimism. Speaking at an event in Michigan on April 30, he had noted, “India tariff talks are going great, think we'll have a deal soon.”
