India Agrees to Drop Tariffs on US Goods, Trump Claims Credit
BRICS member India has agreed to eliminate tariffs on US goods, according to US President Donald Trump. The announcement came during a media briefing at the Oval Office, where Trump asserted the concession was a direct result of his administration’s negotiations. "They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me," Trump said.
The proposed zero-for-zero tradeoff covers key sectors including auto parts, steel, and pharmaceuticals. This development follows the US imposition of 10% tariffs on Indian goods, which had strained trade relations between the two nations. market analysts suggest the tariff removal could impact commodity-linked cryptocurrencies as trade flows adjust.
