Tariffs to be focus of PM Modi's US trip

China Daily  

By APARAJIT CHAKRABORTY in New Delhi and XU WEIWEI in Hong Kong | China Daily | Updated: 2025-02-12 10:07 Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi begins a two-day visit to the United States on Wednesday, with reports suggesting that he has lined up some tariff concessions as he meets US President Donald Trump in Washington and tries to avert a potential trade war. The primary focus during the meeting between Modi and Trump will be on reducing import tariffs to boost US exports to India, Indian trade experts said. India's "enormously high" tariffs block imports, US news channel CNBC quoted Kevin Hassett, Trump's top economic adviser, as saying. Swaran Singh, a professor of international relations at JNU, noted that so far India has been spared from Trump's tariffs, adding the Modi-Trump meeting scheduled on Thursday "is expected to further fine-tune bilateral irritants". Expressing "deep concern" over the latest US steel tariffs, Indian Steel Association President Naveen Jindal said in a statement on Monday that Washington's move will further disrupt global trade and intensify challenges for the steel industry.
