Overview
- Trump said the United States lowered its reciprocal tariff on Indian goods to 18% with immediate effect after a call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- Modi publicly thanked Trump and said Made in India products will face an 18% tariff in the U.S.
- According to Trump’s statement, Modi agreed to stop buying Russian oil and to purchase much more energy from the United States, alongside a broader commitment to buy over $500 billion in U.S. goods.
- Trump also said India would reduce to zero certain tariffs and non‑tariff barriers affecting U.S. products.
- No signed agreement or detailed government documentation has been released to verify the pledges, prior tariff levels are inconsistently reported, and the announcement follows an EU–India trade deal concluded a week earlier.
