On April 7, 2025, Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the swift finalization of a bilateral trade agreement, emphasizing its importance amid impending U.S. tariffs on Indian imports. The U.S. had announced a 10% baseline tariff on all imports, with a specific 26% tariff on Indian goods effective April 9. Despite these measures, India does not plan to retaliate, focusing instead on ongoing negotiations to enhance trade relations. Both nations aim to conclude the trade deal promptly, reflecting a mutual commitment to a fair and balanced economic partnership. (PC: Z2Data & X)
