After imposing a 25 per cent tariff along with additional penalties on Indian imports, US President Donald Trump has said that the United States is currently in trade negotiations with New Delhi. 

Speaking at a press conference at the White House on Wednesday (local time), he emphasised that India remains one of the highest tariff-imposing countries in the world, but discussions are underway.

In response to a question about whether the US is open to negotiations with India on the new tariff front, Trump said. "We are negotiating right now and it's also BRICS. BRICS, which is basically a group of countries that are anti the United States and India is a member of that...It is an attack on the dollar and we are not going to let anybody attack the dollar," Trump said in the White House.
