WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump cast doubts over the likelihood of an anticipated trade deal with India on Tuesday , just days before a scheduled visit to the South Asian power.
People familiar with the negotiations say they had been making progress until recent days, building expectations of an announcement during Trump's Feb 24-25 visit. But people familiar with the discussions said that the talks had also been complicated by new tariffs introduced by both sides. Indian media last week quoted Alice Wells, the top US diplomat focused on South Asia, as saying a failure to reach what she described as a"tiny phase one trade deal" with India ahead of Trump's visit would be a"big setback".
