New Delhi: US President Donald Trump has said that his country has signed a deal with China and hinted that they are also considering signing a “very big” deal with India. He made the remarks during the “Big Beautiful Bill” event at the White House. He, however, did not divulge details of the deal with China.
“Everybody wants to make a deal and have a part of it. Remember a few months ago, the press was saying, ‘You really have anybody of any interest?’ Well, we just signed with China yesterday. We are having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India. Very big one. Where we’re going to open up India, in the China deal, we are starting to open up China,” he said.

The US President said that everybody wants to make a deal with his country but America is “not going to make deals” with every nation.
“We’re not going to make deals with everybody. Some we are just going to send them a letter, say thank you very much. You are to pay 25, 35, 45 per cent. That’s the easy way to do it, and my people don’t want to do it that way. They want to do some of it, but they want to make more deals than I would do,” he added.
Earlier this month, US’ commerce secretary Howard Lutnick said that an America-India trade deal could be finalised soon, with both sides finding common ground which suits their interests. “I think to be in a very, very good place, and you should expect a deal between the United States and India in the not-too-distant future because I think we found a place that really works for both countries,” he said while speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum.
Earlier, Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal had also hinted at a trade deal between India and the US and said that the two countries are in the process of negotiating a fair and equitable trade agreement that will benefit both nations.
