'His leadership vital for global peace, stability': PM Modi's big thanks to Trump after tariff cut

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday thanked US President Donald Trump after he announced that Washington has decided to reduce tariffs on New Delhi from 25 per cent to 18 per cent. He said Trump's leadership is vital for global peace, stability, and prosperity.

India fully supports his efforts for peace, said the prime minister in an X (formerly Twitter) post, adding that he is looking forward to working closely with him to take the India-US partnership to unprecedented



heights.

"Wonderful to speak with my dear friend President Trump today. Delighted that Made in India products will now have a reduced tariff of 18%. Big thanks to President Trump on behalf of the 1.4 billion people of India for this wonderful announcement," he said.

"When two large economies and the world’s largest democracies work together, it benefits our people and unlocks immense opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation," he added.
