The talks come at a crucial juncture, as on August 6, US President Donald Trump announced sweeping and substantial tariffs on India, one of America most important trading partners. In addition to a 25 tariff, Trump also announced an additional 25 tariff on India that will go into effect later this month as a repercussion for importing Russian oil and gas, as per CNN. (ANI)
