New Delhi, Oct 5: External affairs minister S Jaishankar on Sunday expressed confidence that ongoing tariff disagreements between India and the United States will not derail the overall trade relationship, stressing that both nations are engaged in active dialogue to resolve the matter.
Speaking at the Kautilya Economic Conclave (KEC 2025), Jaishankar said that despite certain friction points, much of India’s trade with the U.S. continues unaffected. He attributed the tariff issues to a lack of consensus on key trade matters, noting that until both sides reach common ground, levies will remain a sticking point.
Negotiations are currently underway over the steep 50% tariffs imposed on some Indian exports, particularly in the energy sector. Jaishankar
