<p>Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the move and thanked President Trump for the decision. He said the reduction in tariffs would benefit millions of Indians and help Indian products become more competitive in global markets. Modi added that both leaders are working together to ensure fair trade, economic growth, and opportunities for businesses and workers in both countries.</p>
<p>Following the announcement, positive reactions were seen in American stock markets. Experts believe the tariff reduction will especially benefit sectors such as agriculture, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and engineering goods. Indian exporters are expected to gain improved access to one of the world’s largest consumer markets.</p>
<p>Analysts also see this step as a signal of improving India US relations. The decision comes at a time when global trade faces uncertainty, and cooperation between major economies is considered crucial for global peace, stability, and prosperity.</p>
