US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said Washington is “close to making a deal” with India, even as the US imposed new tariffs on 14 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Talks between India and the US continue to stall over agricultural and dairy sector access, with New Delhi resisting pressure to open markets to genetically modified crops. India seeks tariff cuts on key exports like garments and footwear. Trump’s remarks come ahead of the August 1 tariff hike deadline. Both nations aim to double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 through a limited tariff-reducing agreement. (PC: NDTV)
