India and the United States have announced a landmark trade agreement that cuts U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18%, a move expected to ease long-standing trade tensions and bolster Indian exports. U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the deal, which lowers barriers hit by previous high tariffs. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said the pact will unlock unprecedented opportunities for farmers, MSMEs, entrepreneurs and skilled workers, support Make in India and Design in India initiatives, and help India access advanced U.S. technology. The deal aims to strengthen bilateral economic ties and boost global competitiveness. (PC: India Today)
