India currently faces a 50 per cent tariff from the US. A 25 per cent tariff on India was announced during Trump’s Liberation Day exercise in April 2025. A few weeks after this announcement, Trump announced an additional 25 per cent levy on New Delhi due to its purchase of Russian oil.
This levy also paused talks between India and the US on a trade deal. However, delegations from both countries have held regular meetings as part of their bid to close out and seal the bilateral deal.
PM Modi had also spoken with President Trump in December last year, and the two leaders had agreed to work closely to address shared challenges and advance common interests.
During the telephone conversation, the two leaders reviewed the steady progress in India-U.S. bilateral relations and exchanged views on key regional and global developments.
“Had a very warm and engaging conversation with President Trump. We reviewed the progress in our bilateral relations and discussed regional and international developments. India and the U.S. will continue to work together for global peace, stability and prosperity,” PM Modi had said in a post on X.

India-US talks live updates: Washington’s praise for New Delhi-Brussels deal
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer had last week praised the India-EU Trade deal, saying that India had come out on top with this deal.
“EU is turning to India to try to find a place. The EU is so trade-dependent that they need other outlets if they can’t keep sending all their stuff to the United States. I’ve looked at some of the details of the deal so far. I think India comes out on top on this, frankly,” he added during his interview with Fox News.
According to Greer, India is set to gain enhanced access to European markets and may also benefit from expanded mobility provisions. He highlighted India’s competitive advantage, pointing to its low-cost labour and growing manufacturing base.
“They get more market access into Europe. It sounds like they have some additional immigration rights. I don’t know for sure, but President von der Leyen of the EU has talked about mobility for Indian workers into Europe. So, I think on net, India’s going to have a heyday with this,” he said.
