India-US yet to Finalise Trade Deal, but a Confident Donald Trump Says ‘Going to Have Access Into India’
INDIA, JUL 15 – The mini trade deal aims to reduce average duties to around 11.5%, setting the stage for a broader India-US Free Trade Agreement by year-end, officials said.
- US President Donald Trump stated on July 15, 2025, that the US is making progress in gaining access to India's markets through ongoing trade talks in Washington.
- India’s Commerce Minister, Piyush Goyal, emphasized this month that the country will only agree to a trade deal with the US once it is thoroughly completed and serves India’s national interests, rejecting any agreements tied to fixed deadlines.
- The negotiations aim to avoid reciprocal tariffs set for August 1, with India seeking removal of a 26 percent additional tariff and protecting its dairy sector from duty concessions.
- Trump emphasized, "We had no access into any of these countries," and said tariffs have opened markets including Indonesia and India, where the US is "going to have access."
- Although talks continue with a high-level Indian delegation in Washington, India remains cautious, emphasizing a careful conclusion that could influence broader US trade ties in Asia.
