US President Donald Trump expressed strong confidence in India-US trade relations during an exclusive interview with Moneycontrol on Wednesday at Davos. Trump praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling him "a fantastic man and a friend of mine," and voiced optimism about reaching a favorable bilateral trade agreement. The US President said he held Modi in high esteem and described him as a trusted personal friend. Trump's comments indicate positive prospects for the proposed India-US trade deal currently under negotiation. This statement comes amid ongoing trade discussions between the two nations and follows Trump's earlier imposition of tariffs on Indian goods since August last year.
