India dismissed US President Donald Trump’s criticism of its “massive” tariffs, stating that reductions align with past agreements with nations like Australia and the UAE. A government source clarified that these reductions are not extraordinary but part of ongoing negotiations. India and the US are discussing a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) to enhance market access and supply chain integration. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal’s Washington visit included tariff discussions. The government emphasized that such talks are standard, with similar agreements reached with the EU and UK. India remains committed to balanced trade relations.
