It was an honour to speak with Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning, one of my greatest friends and a powerful, respected leader of his country. We discussed many important issues — including trade and ending the war in Ukraine.
– Donald J. Trump

Effective immediately, the United States and India have agreed to a historic Trade Deal. Under this agreement:

📉 The reciprocal tariff the U.S. charges on Indian goods will be reduced from 25% to 18%.

🛃 India will likewise move forward to reduce tariffs and non‑tariff barriers against American products, in many cases to zero.

Prime Minister Modi also agreed to significantly increase his country’s purchase of American products — including energy, technology, agriculture & coal — boosting U.S. exports and strengthening our economic partnership.

This deal builds on months of negotiations since early 2025 and marks a new chapter in U.S.–India relations — one rooted in mutual respect, cooperation, and shared prosperity.

Our amazing relationship with India will be even stronger going forward.

We are two leaders who get things done! 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳
