Trump announced on Wednesday that he will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the next few weeks.

Taking to social media Trump left green signal for India to go for talks, ending tariff war.

“I am happy to inform that India and the United States are in ongoing negotiations to solve the trade restrictions between our two countries," Trump posted on social media.

"I have no doubt that we will have no problem finding a successful solution for both of our great nations," he added, terming Modi "a very good friend.”

The next day, Modi welcomed the comments and called the US and India "natural partners and close friends." 

"Our teams are also working to finalize the trade talks at the earliest," Modi also said, adding that he would look forward to directly speaking with Trump to "ensure a brighter, more prosperous future for both our people.”

The more conciliatory tone comes after months of tension in trade relations. Trump recently stated India had proposed cutting tariffs on US products to zero, but described the gesture as "too late." He also doubled import tariffs on India to 50% after New Delhi declined to stop buying Russian oil — a move that fueled worries about stability in bilateral ties.

India s top economic advisor warned this week that the US tariffs would shave 0.5% off the nation s GDP in 2025. In the meantime, reports suggest Trump is pushing the EU to respond with 100% tariffs on Indian and Chinese imports, highlighting Washington s hardline trade policy.
