India Trade Deal Still On, Says Trump Despite Court Ruling
US President Donald Trump said that the proposed India trade deal remains on track despite recent developments related to tariff rulings in the United States. His remarks come after a legal setback concerning the administration’s tariff powers, which had raised questions about ongoing trade negotiations.
Trump On India Trade Deal After Tariff Ruling
Speaking to reporters, President Trump stated that the India trade deal “still is on” and described his ties with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “great.” The comments followed a US court decision that limited the administration’s authority to impose certain tariffs under emergency provisions.
While the ruling affects aspects of the broader tariff framework, Trump indicated that bilateral trade discussions with India continue independently of the legal developments.
US-India Trade Talks Continue
Trade negotiations between India and the United States have focused on market access, tariff structures, and sector-specific cooperation. Both sides have been working toward an interim trade understanding aimed at resolving pending issues and expanding economic engagement.
Officials have said that dialogue remains active, with technical teams continuing discussions on various trade components.
Bilateral Ties Remain Strong
Beyond trade, India-US relations cover defence cooperation, technology partnerships, and energy collaboration. Trump’s statement underscored the broader strategic relationship between Washington and New Delhi.
Although tariff policies are under review following the court decision, there has been no official indication that the proposed trade agreement has been withdrawn or suspended.
