Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump on agreeing to a bilateral trade deal and said it was a “big day" for India-US relations.

India and the United States have agreed on a trade deal under which Washington will reduce the tariff on Indian goods from 25 per cent to 18 per cent, President Trump announced on Monday after a phone conversation with Prime Minister Modi.

PM Modi welcomed the decision and said he was delighted that “Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18 per cent."

“A big day for India-US relations as the trade deal has been locked with a significantly reduced tariff of 18%, paving the way for stronger trade ties and mutual growth," Shah said in a post on X.

“I congratulate PM @narendramodi and President @realDonaldTrump for this historic deal, which will elevate our strategic partnership and greatly benefit both nations and their people. Business between India and US set to flourish further," the Union Home Minister added.
