India says US trade negotiations are still going on as fresh tariffs loomUS President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi shake hands as they attend a joint press conference at the White House in Washington, DC, US, Feb 13, 2025. Indian goods face additional US tariffs of up to 50 percent, among the highest imposed by Washington, due to its increased purchases of Russian oil. India-US trade talks collapsed earlier this year due to India not agreeing to open its vast agricultural and dairy sectors. He also said Washington's concern over India's Russian oil purchases was not being applied to other major buyers such as China and European Union. The minister also said India's purchases of Russian oil had not been raised in earlier trade talks with the US before the public announcement of tariffs.
