It’s all bravado, India will bend, predicts Howard Lutnick on Trump’s tariffs

He added that with time, the businesses in India will ask the government to make a deal with the US.

“So I think what happens is it's all bravado, because you think it feels good to fight with the biggest client in the world, but eventually your businesses are going to say you've got to stop this and go make a deal with America,” Lutnick said in an interview with Bloomberg on Friday.

He also made a big claim that India will restart trade negotiations with Donald Trump in “a month or two”.
