On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed US President Donald Trump’s decision to restart trade negotiations between India and the United States, saying the dialogue would help ‘unlock the limitless potential of the India-US partnership’.
Trump, in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, confirmed that talks were once again underway to resolve outstanding trade barriers between the two countries.
Responding to his remarks, PM Modi shared a message on the social media platform. He underlined the strength of bilateral ties and voiced optimism about the outcome of the discussions.
Taking to X, he posted, “India and the US are close friends and natural partners. I am confident that our trade negotiations will pave the way for unlocking the limitless potential of the India-US partnership. Our teams are working to conclude these discussions at the earliest. I am also looking forward to speaking with President Trump. We will work together to secure a brighter, more prosperous future for both our people.”
A day earlier, US President Donald Trump confirmed that his administration has resumed trade discussions with India.
Taking to Truth Social, he wrote, “I am pleased to announce that India, and the United States of America, are continuing negotiations to address the Trade Barriers between our two Nations.”
Trump referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a ‘very good friend’. He further added that he looked forward to speaking with him ‘in the upcoming weeks’.
“I feel certain that there will be no difficulty in coming to a successful conclusion for both of our Great Countries!,” the US President added.
The announcement reflects a softer tone from Washington in recent days.
During a White House briefing last Friday, Trump had remarked, “I’ll always be friends with Prime Minister Modi”, calling him a ‘great Prime Minister’.
The developments come against the backdrop of Trump’s decision on 27 August. On that day, he raised tariffs on Indian imports to 50 per cent. This effectively doubled the earlier 25 per cent levy.
The step was taken in response to India’s continued purchase of Russian oil amid the Ukraine war.
