Trump-Modi Trade Talks: Impact on India’s Economy and Growth

Trump-Modi Trade Talks: Impact on India’s Economy and Growth

The trade war that began under U.S. President Donald Trump has resulted in major changes in global commerce relations. The Trump tariffs have already affected a host of nations, including China. India has, however, been able to escape the consequences of these tariffs due to relief acts that came into effect after the recent Trump-Modi Trade Talk in the United States, where he had trade talks with Trump.

Currently, India seems to be free from tariffs, although things are still quite volatile. Trump has previously stated that he might impose tariffs in the future based on how India decides to apply its tariffs for American goods. Regardless of how uncertain things are, there are opportunities for some Indian sectors due to the issues in US-China relations and the US-China trade war.

Let’s look at the significant points of this change:

What Did Trump Mention as Tariffs on India? (Trump tariffs on India)

In the past, Trump was determined to place tariffs on many nations, including India. However, after his talks with PM Modi, he changed his position and said that he plans to “investigate and analyze,” which hints at no standard tariff on Indian goods hence US-India trade relations could be expected to be good.

 

 

Can India Benefit from the Tariffs on China? 

Yes! India's trade benefits have gained from the more marked American tariffs placed on China in the past. The 25% Trump tax on Chinese products saw India's export growth while it’s strong in burning pharma sectors and electronics. If such a pattern prevails, Indian exporters will buy greater dollars from the American economy. If achieved, this would serve as an enhanced revenue changer to the Indian economy.

 

Key Agreements Between Modi And Trump 

$500 billion was the earmarked economic target set by Modi and Trump during their meeting, which rests at a marginally lower than favorable trade rate on their sides. In the hope of achieving this, both leaders expressed their commitment to enhanced business relations. Both OECD and IEA are keeping an eye on these developments as they pose a substantial economic value internationally.
