The world saw the rhetoric of US President Donald Trump against India. Now when the tone of Trump has started changing, India is also adopting a positive attitude in the same way. The world’s eyes are also on the last 2 posts made on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s X about Trump’s comments, what is being written in the post.

The US President mentioned his good friend Modi on Saturday and Wednesday by posting his social media platform Truth on social. Their latest post mentions the ongoing conversation between the two countries, including reducing business obstacles. Indo-US relations have been emphasized in Prime Minister Modi’s answers.

‘India will be adamant on its decisions in business talks’
According to sources, this is an indication that India will be adamant on its decisions in business talks, including a claim of its sovereign right to refuse to cut import duty on agriculture and dairy products and to decide the purchase of raw petroleum. The central government accepts the important role of relations with the US and the impact on some business due to 50 percent tariffs, but it has also been clarified that any trade agreement should be on mutual beneficial terms.

Officials have suggested that the government will take careful steps in view of the uncertainty of the talks with the Trump administration, where the President decides everything and no matter how clever the secretaries are, their role looks very limited.

Trump increased pressure on himself over Ukraine War
The Times of India quoted sources as saying that the conversation over the bilateral trade agreement was on track, but Trump laid demands which were difficult for India to accept. Officials say that Trump has increased the pressure on himself by claiming to restore peace between Russia and Ukraine. According to sources, after failing to do so, he searched for alternative goals like India to divert attention.

Trump estimated that India would stand with him, as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia and even the European Union, but despite Modi’s clear denial, their frequent claims of the ceasefire of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan made New Delhi angered.

The relationship between the two countries is being seen in the relationship between America on India. US Finance Minister Scott Besant has claimed that India has been slightly obstructed in trade talks with America. Besant’s comment came a few days after Donald Trump put 25 percent additional tariff on Indian imports citing oil purchases from Russia.

The additional tariff imposed on India by the US will come into effect from August 27, due to which both countries are trying to find a middle way through talks.

‘Still waiting for big business agreements’
According to a report by news agency Reuters, Besant said that big trade agreements are still awaited, including agreements with Switzerland and India. Referring to India especially, he said that India’s stand in the ongoing talks is a bit obstinate.

Besant reportedly to the Kudlo of the Fox Business Network said that the Trump administration can complete the trade talks till October last. According to Reuters, he said that it is ambitious, but I think we are in good condition. Besant further said that I think we can do so that all important countries will agree on concrete terms.

What did the Union Finance Ministry say

Union Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary, in a written reply to Lok Sabha MP Abhishek Banerjee, said that it is estimated that about 55 percent of the total export price of India to the US is due to the reciperock tariff.
