‘India is coming to the table’, says White House adviser ahead of trade talks

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Sunday said that India was willing to hold negotiations with the United States on tariffs, CNBC reported.

“India is coming to the table,” Navarro said in an interview with the American news network. “Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi sent out a very conciliatory, nice, constructive tweet…and President [Donald] Trump responded to that. We’ll see how this works.”

On September 9, Trump said he was looking forward to speaking with Modi about trade in the coming weeks. Hours later, the Indian prime minister expressed confidence that the trade negotiations would “pave the way for unlocking the limitless potential” of the partnership between the two countries.
