No response from India on Trump tariffs so far
Disappointing, but may not be the final word, say Indian officials on U.S. reciprocal tariffs from April 2; Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is in the midst of talks on a bilateral trade agreement, looking at areas where tariffs can be cut
India did not respond on Wednesday (March 5, 2025) to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that his administration planned to go ahead with reciprocal tariffs against India.
Mr. Trump’s speech came a day after Commerce and Industries Minister Piyush Goyal met his U.S. counterpart Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and was due to meet U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer for talks on the first phase of a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) to be finalised later this year. The BTA was decided on during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington on February 13.
India’s inclusion in the list of countries that would still face reciprocal tariffs after April 2 is believed to be a disappointment for those in the government who believed that Mr. Modi’s visit, and the promise of “fair-trade terms” in the BTA, could have postponed Mr. Trump’s decision. However, officials say there is still time for negotiation with the Trump administration.
