Core Viewpoint - The U.S. President Trump criticized India's late proposal to reduce tariffs on U.S. goods to zero after the U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on Indian imports, indicating that India should have made such moves years ago [1][2]. Trade Relations - On July 31, Trump signed an executive order imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods starting August 7, which was later increased to an additional 25% due to India's importation of Russian oil, resulting in a total tariff rate of 50% on Indian imports [4]. - The U.S. and India had previously engaged in trade negotiations, which have now been suspended following the tariff increases [4]. Trade Data - In 2024, the total trade volume between the U.S. and India is projected to be approximately $129.2 billion, with a trade deficit of $45.7 billion for the U.S., reflecting a 5.4% increase compared to 2023 [4].
