President Donald Trump said on Monday (July 7, 2025) night (local time) that the U.S. is close to reaching a trade deal with India, even as he announced tariffs on 14 nations.
"We are close to making a deal with India," Trump told reporters during a private dinner with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. "We’ve made a deal with the United Kingdom. We’ve made a deal with China."
Trump suggested that while progress has been made with key partners, other nations unwilling to meet US terms will face new tariff notifications.
