On this Special Report, Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the India-US Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), discusses the landmark India-US trade deal. Highlighting the economic significance, Aghi states, ‘It’s a tremendous win for India,’ noting that reducing tariffs from 50% to 18% will significantly boost Indian exports in sectors like garments, gems, and jewellery. He explains that this move makes Indian products more competitive than those from China and Bangladesh. The discussion also covers the geopolitical implications of the deal, particularly in the context of US-China relations. Aghi emphasizes that the alignment between India and the United States is crucial in dealing with an assertive China. The programme further explores how the deal strengthens bilateral ties across technology, defence, and people-to-people sectors, while also touching upon breaking news regarding US President Donald Trump’s recent conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping concerning trade and Taiwan.
