Why India can't trust the Trump White House despite the proposed trade deal

A deal that the US president himself brokered is in direct opposition to US tariffs against Canada and Mexico. The WTO has lost its course, according to the US 2025 Trade Policy. With regard to commerce with the US, India cannot relax, BTA or not.In a move that could have a big impact on developing nations like India, which generally provide more protection to domestic industry than the wealthier, developed world, US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that reciprocal tariffs would be applied to trade partners regardless of their economic development.

Trump's comments during a speech to the US Congress' Joint Session hinted that New Delhi might not receive any concessions on broad duties in trade negotiations. He specifically mentioned the automobile industry, claiming that India imposes tariffs of more than 100%.It's time for us to start utilizing tariffs against the nations that have been using them against us for decades. Generally speaking, are you familiar with the European Union, China, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Canada? Additionally, we pay tariffs that are far greater than those of innumerable other countries," Trump stated.
