India wants to start trade talks with US ‘immediately’: Trump
WASHINGTON, Oct 1, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – President Donald Trump on Monday said
India wants to start trade talks with the United States “immediately” as he
held a news conference on the trade deal struck between the United States,
Mexico and Canada.
Describing the south Asian country as the “tariff king,” the president told
reporters at the White House that India “called us and they say, ‘We want to
start negotiations immediately.'”
Known as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the deal agreed
ahead of a midnight deadline Sunday will replace the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump had called a “disaster.”
