US Puts Modi on Hold: Not Going to India
Trump's actions have made India worry again after they had just relaxed.
We have said before, after meeting with Putin, Trump was so happy that he decided to delay secondary sanctions against Russia and countries that buy Russian oil - this is an unexpected good news for India, which has been troubled by Trump's tariffs.
But the facts show that India still cannot expect too much from Trump.
On the 16th, The Times of India cited sources saying that due to the Modi government considering retaliatory measures against Trump's tariffs, the US trade delegation canceled its scheduled visit to India from August 25 to 29, "this move raised doubts about whether the US and India can reach an agreement before September or October."
According to various reports, after being announced by Trump to be subject to a 50% tariff, India now hopes to get the US to cancel 25% of the secondary tariff and negotiate on the other 25% additional tariff.
However, considering that the US delegation has already been reported to have canceled its visit to India, the trade negotiations India hoped for are once again in vain.
Even if the US delegation did not cancel its trip, India would not have more concessions to offer in the negotiation, for example, one of Trump's core demands is to require India to open its agricultural market to the United States, but a large influx of American agricultural products into India would hit Modi's farmer vote bank, so Modi would never accept Trump's conditions.
