US extends suspension of its April 2 reciprocal tariffs until August |
-
PRESIDENT Donald Trump has said that the US is close to making a trade deal with India, as his administration started sending letters detailing the levies that Washington will impose on products from those countries entering America.
"Now, we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China...We're close to making a deal with India," Trump said on Monday.
"Others we met with and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter. If you want to play ball, this is what you have to pay."
His remarks came as the US extended the suspension of its April 2 reciprocal tariffs until August 1, providing a three-week time for India and the US to resolve their pending issues.
