Back in April, President Donald Trump had claimed to have done “over 200 deals” in an interview with Time Magazine, and trade adviser Peter Navarro had said that “90 deals in 90 days” was possible. The country has fallen far short of that, with only eight deals in 120 days, including one with the 27-member European Union.

Indian officials are planning to continue negotiating with the US for a bilateral trade deal by fall of this year even if US President Donald Trump follows through with threatened tariffs this week, people familiar with the matter said.

U.S. President Donald Trump said a trade deal with India has yet to be finalised and warned of possible higher tariffs ahead of an August 1 deadline to seal an agreement.
