United States President Donald Trump hinted that a “very big” deal with India is coming soon. In his speech hinting towards trade deals, Trump said, “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.” Trump, while speaking at the Big Beautiful Bill event, said, “Where we’re going to open up India, in the China deal, we are starting to open up China.” Trump asserted that deals will not be made with every other 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,” the US President. “But we’re 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’re starting to open up China. Things that never really could have happened, and the relationship with every country has been very good.” Earlier on Thursday, India’s External Affairs Ministry said that India-US partnership is grounded in shared democratic values. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We remain confident in the trajectory of this most consequential partnership of the 21st century.” “Our partnership with the United States is wide-ranging, grounded in shared democratic values and growing strategic convergence. A Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership between India and the United States continues to receive high-level attention and is manifested in sustained dialogue and cooperation across sectors from trade to critical technology to energy, defence, and several other fields. We remain confident in the trajectory of this most consequential partnership of the 21st century,” Jaiswal said at a press conference.
