President Trump made remarks about high-stakes U.S.-India trade negotiations and Apple's production of iPhones during his visit to Qatar, suggesting India is willing to charge no tariffs in a potential deal.
S. Jaishankar, India's foreign minister, mentioned that trade talks are ongoing and stressed the importance of a mutually beneficial agreement before finalizing any deal.
India's trade minister, Piyush Goyal, is actively engaged in tariff-related discussions with the U.S. to potentially reach an agreement before July when Trump's exemptions on reciprocal tariffs expire.
Trump criticized Apple's plans to shift iPhone production from China to India, which caused some unease in India as they aim to enhance manufacturing in the country.
