The announcement of the India-US trade agreement represents a landmark development in international relations, setting an ambitious target to elevate bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030. The joint statement was made following detailed discussions between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
In a series of diplomatic engagements, top officials from both nations met multiple times, addressing a range of issues from tariffs to technical barriers. The dialogue was intensified with visits and meetings held on both sides of the ocean, spanning over almost a year of negotiations.
The trade agreement comes after a period of heightened tariffs and complex diplomacy, reflecting a breakthrough in resolving past impediments. Previously, attempts under the Trump and Biden administrations faltered, largely due to disputes over agriculture, digital taxes, and tariff regulations.
