Donald Trump warns India of 25% tariffs if trade deal not reached
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that Indian imports could face tariffs as high as 25% if the two countries are unable to finalise a trade agreement soon. 'They are going to pay 25%,' Trump told reporters, according to CNN. When asked whether India would be charged tariffs between 20% and 25%, Trump replied, 'Yeah, I think so. India has been; they're my friends.' The United States and India have been discussing a trade deal for months, but no final agreement has been reached. Trump has been pressing for greater access for American goods to the Indian market. He has often made similar demands in other trade negotiations. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said further talks would be needed to move things forward. 'They have expressed strong interest in opening portions of their market,' Greer said in an interview with CNBC on Monday, as reported by CNN. 'We, of course, are willing to continue talking to them. But I think we need some more negotiations on that with our Indian friends to see how ambitious they want to be.' This is a developing story

US-China trade talks end without deal as tariff deadline nears
Trade talks between the United States and China ended on Tuesday without a deal to extend a temporary pause on steep tariffs, raising concerns that high duties could return from 12 August. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer met Chinese officials in Stockholm over two days to discuss the way forward, but no agreement was reached. The talks were described as 'constructive' by both sides, and officials said discussions would continue. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Bessent said: 'We just haven't been given that signoff.' He added that President Donald Trump would have to make the final decision on whether to extend the current truce. 'The meetings were very productive,' Bessent said, according to CNN. Greer echoed that view, saying: 'With respect to a potential pause, we're going to head back to Washington, DC, and we're going to talk to the president about whether that's something that he wants to do. It's certainly something that's under discussion.' Without a deal, the United States and China could reinstate heavy tariffs that were previously in place before the current 90-day pause. Greer told CNN that tariffs on Chinese goods could rise by around 34 percent, although still below the peak rate of 145 percent seen earlier. In May, China had lowered tariffs on American goods from 125 percent to 10 percent, while the US reduced its tariffs on Chinese goods from 145 percent to 30 percent. China's International Trade Representative, Li Chenggang, said both countries would 'continue to push for the scheduled extension,' according to Chinese state broadcaster CCTV. However, Bessent disputed the suggestion that anything had been finalised. 'The Chinese deputy minister did say that we had agreed on a pause. We have not. Nothing is agreed until we speak with President Trump,' he said, as quoted by CNN. Greer also clarified that 'the president has discretion to change the rate depending on the circumstances that we have.' Speaking separately aboard Air Force One, President Trump told reporters he had just spoken with Bessent, who reported 'a very good meeting with China.' Trump added, 'He felt very good about the meeting, better than he felt yesterday,' according to Reuters. Trump also said he expects to be briefed on the talks on Wednesday and would then decide whether to extend the tariff pause. He said he hoped to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping before the end of the year. When asked about a possible trade deal with India, Trump said no agreement had been reached. He added, 'India has higher tariffs than almost any country,' Reuters reported. As of now, no breakthrough has been made, and both sides remain under pressure to find a solution before the mid-August deadline.

India braces for higher US tariffs, eyes broader trade deal: Report
India is preparing to face higher US tariffs likely between 20 per cent and 25 per cent on some of its exports as a temporary measure, as it holds off on fresh trade concessions ahead of Washington's August 1 deadline, two Indian government sources said. Instead, New Delhi plans to resume broader trade negotiations when a US delegation visits in mid-August, with the goal of finalising a comprehensive bilateral agreement by September or October, one of the Indian officials told Reuters. "Talks are progressing well, and a delegation is expected in Delhi by mid-August, one of the Indian government officials said, adding that President Donald Trump could issue a tariff letter imposing duties of 20 or 25 per cent in a "worst-case scenario". "However, we assume it would be a temporary measure, considering the five rounds of trade talks that have taken place. A deal will soon be worked out, the official said. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC on Monday that talks with India required more negotiations as Trump was more interested in good deals than quick deals. India has shown "strong interest in opening portions of its market" though its trade policy had long focussed on protecting domestic interests, Greer said. Piyush Goyal, India's trade minister, told Reuters last week India is making "fantastic" progress in US trade talks. Indian officials said New Delhi has offered tariff cuts on a wide range of goods and is working to ease non-tariff barriers. However, agriculture and dairy remain no-go areas, with India unwilling to allow imports of genetically modified soybean or corn, or to open its dairy sector. Total bilateral goods trade reached about $129 billion in 2024, with India posting a trade surplus of nearly $46 billion. India is holding back on fresh offers while calibrating its strategy amid broader US tariff threats targeting BRICS nations, including India, over issues such as de-dollarisation and purchases of Russian oil, said another official. "We remain hopeful of securing a deal that gives Indian exporters preferential access compared to our peers," the official said. Officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to speak to media. India's commerce ministry and the US Trade Representative's Office did not immediately respond to emailed requests for comments. "We need more negotiations with our Indian friends to see how ambitious they want to be," Greer said. Analysts said, without a deal, Indian exports could face average US tariffs of around 26 per cent, higher than those faced by Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan or the European Union.
