Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said India's trade discussions with the United States are progressing well, dismissed claims of fundamental differences, and expressed confidence that a robust deal could be concluded soon-while reiterating that India does not negotiate trade agreements under deadlines.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former US President Donald Trump held a 30-minute phone conversation, according to the US Ambassador. Speaking exclusively to NDTV, the envoy said the final US tariffs on Indian goods will stand at 18 per cent, offering clarity amid speculation over the India–US trade deal. The comments come as both countries signal progress in bilateral trade negotiations.
Jayant Krishna, Senior Fellow, Strategic And International Studies (CSIS) says India‑US talks point to an effective tariff cut to 18%, removal of penalties linked to Russian oil imports, and a deal that could significantly boost India's export portfolio-though sectoral exclusions are still unclear.
Former US Assistant Secretary of Commerce Raymond Vickery says any India-US trade deal under Donald Trump must be read cautiously, warning that big numbers and announcements don't guarantee certainty and that credibility will depend on the fine print and follow-through from both sides.
