US President Donald Trump has claimed that India has offered to drop tariffs on American goods to zero as part of efforts to strike a new trade agreement with Washington. However, this has not been acknowledged by New Delhi yet.
Trump made the comments during a business roundtable in Doha, Qatar, on his Mideast tour, first discussing Apple’s plans to build manufacturing plants for its iPhone there.
“It’s very hard to sell into India and they’ve offered us a deal with what basically they’re willing to literally charge us no tariff,” Trump said.
