US President Donald Trump sometimes calls India as ‘Tariff King’ and sometimes ‘dead economy’, although today there are good relations between India and America, especially on the business front. Currently, India is the largest trading partner of America. But Trump is constantly pressurizing India over tariffs. A total of 50 percent tariffs have been announced on India. In which 25 percent has been imposed as fine. Trump says why India trade with Russia, especially Trump is targeting India for the purchase of oil and weapons.
India’s largest trading partner is the United States (USA). The total bilateral trade (export and imports) between India and the United States stood at US $ 131.84 billion in FY 2024-25.
