US ‘pretty close’ to trade deal with India: Trump

The US is ‘pretty close’ to reaching a ‘fair trade deal’ with India, President Donald Trump has said, adding that he will lower the tariffs imposed on New Delhi ‘at some point.’ “We’re making a deal with India, much different deal than we had in the past. So right now, they don’t love me, but they’ll love us again,” Trump said on Monday.

He made the remarks during a ceremony in the Oval Office, where Sergio Gor was sworn in as America’s Ambassador to India by US Vice President J D Vance. “We’re getting a fair deal, just a fair trade deal. We had pretty unfair trade deals.
