Trump says India offered a trade deal with 'zero tariffs' on US goods

Speaking at a business gathering in Qatar, Trump claimed that India was “willing to literally charge us no tariff” on US exports, though he did not elaborate on the terms or sectors covered by the reported offer.''

Trump has floated this idea before, however, the Government of India has not made any comments on the US President's remarks.

India's apparent tariff concession comes amid efforts to secure a deal within a 90-day tariff pause window, which Trump had announced in April. India had been hit with a 26 per cent tariff under Trump’s new trade policy.
