A grand deal Speaking at the India Today Conclave, he proposed a “grand deal,” suggesting that if India lowers its tariffs on US goods, America would offer India significant trade opportunities and a stronger partnership. Lutnick urges India to buy US weapons He urged India to reduce its dependence on Russian military equipment, saying it was crucial for strengthening ties with the US. In conversation with journalist Rahul Kanwal, Lutnick said, “India has traditionally purchased a large share of its military equipment from Russia, and we believe that needs to change.” Further highlighting India’s role in BRICS, alongside Brazil, Russia, China, and South Africa, Lutnick noted that Beijing’s push for a common currency, which Trump opposes, is viewed as a challenge to the US dollar’s dominance.
