Could not talk on trade deal with America
There was talk on a trade deal between India and America, but it stopped after the tariff. The important thing is that America has been the largest business partner of India for a long time, but due to some sectors, the trade deal could not be made. The US contributes about 18 percent of India’s total goods exports, about 6.22 percent in imports and 10.37 percent in total trade.
