President Donald Trump announced that his administration will seek to restart trade negotiations with India following several weeks of heightened bilateral tensions. The statement comes amid ongoing disputes over tariffs, market access, and regulatory barriers that have strained economic relations between the two countries.
Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized the importance of strengthening U.S.-India trade ties and expressed optimism about resolving outstanding issues through renewed dialogue. The administration has not yet outlined a formal timeline or negotiation framework.
India remains a key strategic and economic partner for the United States, with bilateral trade exceeding $190 billion annually. Recent friction has centered on digital trade policies, agricultural exports, and defense procurement.
Officials from both sides have indicated a willingness to engage, suggesting that diplomatic efforts may soon resume to stabilize and expand the economic partnership.
