US President Donald Trump signalled a major trade deal with India could be coming soon, just a few weeks after negotiators from both countries concluded four days of closed-door discussions.
Speaking at the ‘Big Beautiful Event’ at the White House, Trump described his relationship with India as promising and said a “great deal” might be in the works.
“Everyone wants to be part of a deal. Remember a few months ago when the media questioned whether anyone was interested? Well, we just signed one with China yesterday. We’ve got some great deals coming through. One of them could be with India — a very big one,” he said.
Trump also made it clear that the US would not be entering trade agreements with every nation.
“We’re not going to strike deals with everyone. Some countries, we’ll just send them a letter saying, ‘Thank you very much, now you’ll pay 25, 35, maybe even 45 per cent tariffs.’ That’s the straightforward approach, and while my team prefers to negotiate, I’d often just take the simple route,” he added.
