Brussels and New Delhi plan to finalize negotiations on a trade deal by the end of the year.

Earlier in the day, Trump wished Russia, India and China a "long and prosperous" future together. The American leader said that the United States had lost India and Russia, which, according to him, had deepened relations with China.

On September 4, Trump abandoned a trade agreement with India over Russian oil. According to one of the sources, the central element was India's proposal to significantly reduce duties on American goods. According to the publication, this would be a major concession from New Delhi in the trade dispute.

On August 26, it was reported that the 50% trade duties previously announced by Trump had already begun to apply to India. It was noted that the tariffs affected goods, which included precious stones, jewelry, shoes, sports equipment, as well as furniture and chemicals.
