Published On: December 18, 2024 - Donald Trump’s tariff threat has once again put the spotlight on India-US trade relations. In a recent statement, the former President-elect criticised India’s high tariffs on American goods, reigniting concerns over trade friction. During Trump’s first presidency, while strategic ties flourished, trade relations faced significant hurdles, including retaliatory tariffs, the withdrawal of India’s preferential trade treatment under GSP, and disputes over market access. With the US being India’s largest export destination—$77.52 billion in exports in 2023-24—how could a potential Trump 2.0 presidency reshape India-US trade? What will be the impact upon key sectors like IT, pharmaceuticals, and textiles? And can India leverage the US-China tensions to expand its market share in America? To explore these questions, we’re joined by Ambassador Jayant Dasgupta, Former Ambassador to WTO, and Abhijit Das, Former Head, Centre for WTO Studies at IIFT.
