Earlier in the day, the US president reiterated that New Delhi has not treated the United States “very well” on the trade front, and said he will about the India-US trade with Prime Minister Narendra Modi next week.

“I am going to India next week, and we are talking (about) trade. They have been hitting us very hard for many years. I really like PM Modi but we gotta talk a little business. They gave us tariffs. One of the highest tariffs in the world is those offered by India,” Trump said in Washington.
