Modi-Trump Discussion: What’s The Hidden Story?

United States, president, Donald Trump has been imposing unforeseen regulations when it comes to tariffs and trade agreements with global countries. But now he has effectively communicated that the tariff on India would be cut down from 25% to 18%.

The recent discussions around India US trade agreements have triggered a debate about transparency and political messaging. Many observers say there is a noticeable difference in how the two leaders are presenting the deal

Donald Trump has been highlighting both sides of the arrangement, explaining what the United States stands to gain while also mentioning the tariff reductions being offered. However, critics feel that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has focused mainly on what India will gain, especially the benefits of reduced tariffs.

Some important points, according to analysts, are not being openly discussed. One major concern is India’s reported decision to gradually stop purchasing oil from Russia. Since Russian oil has been available at discounted prices, this shift could have economic implications for India.

Another issue being talked about is India’s agreement to significantly reduce tariffs on American goods, in some cases bringing them down from very high levels to nearly zero. This could make US products more competitive in the Indian market and increase pressure on domestic industries.

There is also discussion about India committing to buy American products worth more than 500 billion dollars across sectors such as energy, agriculture, coal, and technology.

Critics argue that complete transparency is necessary so citizens understand both the advantages and the compromises involved, rather than hearing only one side of a complex economic deal.
