A major US-India trade pact is unlikely during President Donald Trump's visit to the South Asian nation. NEW DELHI: Trade ties between the United States and India have long been problematic but under"America First" President Donald Trump and"Make in India" Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they have worsened.
In recent months, Modi's government has hiked duties on US imports, including on US$600 million worth of Californian almonds as well as apples, steel and chemicals coming into Asia's third-largest economy. Modi's"Make in India" drive is aimed at getting foreign companies to manufacture in the South Asian country and so reduce imports - mirroring Trump's"America First" mantra.
Last year, Trump added to the pain by suspending India's privileges under the decades-old US Generalized System of Preferences programme that had allowed it to ship US$6 billion in goods duty-free. The visit will be big on optics, with Modi and Trump appearing at a rally at the world's largest cricket stadium and the US president and First Lady Melania watching the sunset at the Taj Mahal.
I believe that BernieSanders, currently serving as a usagov senator for Vermont, would make a better POTUS than realDonaldTrump. BernieSanders BernieBeatsTrump DonaldTrumpIsNotMyPresident Trump
Namaste Trump. Blessings to India and their friendship. Positive vibes💓with kindness and respect 🙏🏽
