Trump administration pushes for rapid U.S.-India trade agreement within months

US Secretary of Trade Howard Lottenic, speaking at the USSPF strategic partnership forum (USSPF) for 2025, explained the future of the United States and India trade relations, and urged deep economic cooperation in line with the push of president Trump, which is driven by the customs tariff.

“Those who know, from July 4 to July 9, there will be a pile earlier – and I think India is trying to have it difficult to be one of the previous countries, which I appreciate,” commented Lottennik during his main speech at USSPF on Monday in Washington, DC in Washington, DC, “Those who know, from July 4 to July 9, will be a pile earlier – and I think India is trying to have it difficult to be one of the previous countries, which I appreciate,” commented Lootnick during his main speech at USSPF on Monday in Washington, DC in Washington, DC.

The Minister of Commerce admitted that the unusual fast timetable that the administration is following, unlike traditional multi -year negotiations.

“These types of deals that are used to take two or 3 years, and we are trying to accomplish them in one month, that is, as you know, not only the regular DNA of trade relations between countries,” he said.

Lootnick argued that the administration does not defend comprehensive concessions from India, but “reasonable access to the markets of India.”

“We would like our business to reach the reasonable access to the markets of India,” he said. “Now, everything will not be and will not be everywhere. But we want to reduce the trade deficit.”

“Now in return, what India wants is that they will get some of the main markets that they want to make sure they have a special access to the American market,” he said. “This is barter.”

He said that the ongoing talks between India and the United States were “a very good place.”

“We were able to be in a very good place, and you must expect a deal between the United States and India in the non -far -long future, because I think we have found a place to really work in both countries,” he said.

In Monday’s misfortune, Trump doubled his basic trade faith: “If other countries are allowed to use a tariff against us, and we are not allowed to confront them quickly and credit, with a tariff against them, then our country does not have, even a small opportunity, from economic survival.”

In April, Trump imposed a 27 % mutual tariff on most Indian exports to pressure India to reduce definitions. While strategic sectors such as medicines were exempt, industries such as textiles and machinery were affected.

India has since avoided revenge, and instead chose negotiating with the administration to reduce the definitions.
