Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Tuesday described the India-US trade agreement as a “historic leap” in bilateral ties, adding that it reflects growing global confidence in India’s economic progress.
Saini’s comments came after US President Donald Trump announced the deal following a phone call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. Under the agreement, the reciprocal tariff on Indian goods will be reduced to 18 per cent from the earlier 50 per cent.
“A historic leap for India-US relations!” Saini wrote in a post on X early Tuesday. He congratulated Prime Minister Modi and President Trump for strengthening a partnership that, he said, would promote inclusive growth and long-term prosperity.
Saini said the landmark deal would give a major boost to the ‘Make in India’ initiative and also benefit American businesses. He said the move would improve market access, strengthen trade, and create growth opportunities for both countiries, directly benefiting youth, farmers, MSMEs, startups, as well as US businesses and citizens.
“This milestone also showcases expanding global confidence in India's economic journey and the United States as a central trade partner,” Saini said. He expressed hope that stronger ties would further accelerate innovation, investment and job creation across diverse sectors.
