New Delhi : White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has said that India is coming to the table, ahead of trade talks between New Delhi and Washington on Tuesday. The negotiations come weeks after US President Donald Trump imposed punitive tariffs on Indian exports, driving the country’s shipments to a nine-month low in August.
Rajesh Agarwal, India’s chief negotiator and special secretary in the commerce ministry, confirmed the development. India and the United States will fast-track trade talks, he told reporters at an event to release trade data, but declined to share further details. Brendan Lynch, the US trade representative for South Asia, will make a one-day visit to New Delhi on Tuesday.
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro on Monday said India must come around at some point on trade negotiations with the US or else it won’t end well for Delhi. Navarro, in an interview with the Real America’s Voice show, said the Indian government takes offence to him and described India as the Maharajah of tariffs.
He further said But it’s absolutely true. They have the highest tariffs in any major country in the world against the United States. We got to deal with that, He added that India never bought oil from Moscow before Russia invaded Ukraine, except for like little tiny drops of it.
