According to Reuters, on the 9th local time, US President Trump said that the US continues to negotiate with India to resolve trade barriers between the two countries.

The report mentioned that just a few days ago, Trump had warned that India and Russia seemed to have "turned to" China. This time, Trump's tone has changed significantly, and he said he looks forward to talking with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the "next few weeks" and is optimistic about reaching a trade agreement between the two countries.
He wrote on social media: "I am confident that achieving a satisfactory negotiation result for our two great countries will be no problem."
Last week, Trump said that India had proposed to reduce tariffs on American goods to zero, but he added that this proposal came too late, and this South Asian country should have lowered tariffs several years ago.
For months, Trump has claimed that a trade agreement between the US and India is about to be reached, but he later doubled the new tariffs on Indian goods exported to the US to 50%, which has raised doubts about the future of US-India relations.
This week, India's Chief Economic Advisor warned that the 50% tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Indian goods exported to the US could cause India's GDP to fall by 0.5 percentage points this year.
