Former US President Donald Trump has expressed confidence that India and the United States may soon finalize a major trade agreement, while praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and calling him a “good friend.”
Speaking about the growing economic partnership between the two countries, Trump said that relations between India and the US have changed considerably and become stronger over time. He emphasized that trade discussions are moving in a positive direction and hinted that an agreement could be reached in the near future.
