United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said that US is "very close" on a trade deal with India, adding that it is much easier to negotiate with New Delhi due to its high tariffs. He also said that the trade negotiations with India are "moving well" and that non-tariff barriers can be "much more insidious" than tariff barriers.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said that the United States and India made "some very good progress" concerning the trade deal during Vice President JD Vance's visit to the country and some announcements could be made soon.
