President Donald Trump announced that the United States and India are close to finalising a trade agreement, signalling a potential boost to bilateral commerce.
President Donald Trump stated in a press briefing that the U.S.-India trade deal is "pretty close," marking a significant milestone after years of negotiations.
The agreement aims to reduce tariffs, expand market access for goods and services, and strengthen economic ties between the two nations.
Analysts suggest the deal could open new avenues for Indian exporters and U.S. technology firms, potentially increasing bilateral trade volumes.
The final agreement will still require congressional approval and further details to be ironed out before it becomes law.
