Donald Trump’s Big Claim: India Has Agreed To Lower Trade Tariffs

Donald Trump is again taking aim at India’s high tariffs, calling them “massive” and “restrictive”, and accusing the country of making it nearly impossible for American businesses to operate. In this explosive statement, Trump claims that under his leadership, India has now agreed to cut tariffs after being exposed for its trade practices. His comments come just after US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, at the India Today Conclave 2025, pushed for lower Indian tariffs and a broad US-India trade deal. Trump’s remarks signal a major shift in trade relations, with the former President making it clear that he won’t allow foreign nations to take advantage of the U.S. The statements also come after the visit of India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal to the US to negotiate on the tariffs. With U.S.-India trade at a crossroads, will Modi’s government respond to Trump’s demands?
