US President Donald Trump has once again raised concerns over trade relations with India, calling them "totally one-sided."

Speaking at a public event in the United States, Trump claimed that India had offered "zero tariffs" in certain trade dealings but argued that the overall arrangement still heavily favored New Delhi. He insisted that Washington needed to act quickly to address what he termed as an "imbalanced relationship."

Trump, who has repeatedly targeted US trade partners during and after his presidency, emphasized that it was "getting late" to correct the course of economic policies that he believes put American manufacturers and farmers at a disadvantage.

He also linked his criticism to his broader campaign narrative, suggesting that the US must renegotiate trade agreements and implement policies that "protect American workers."

While Trump’s comments echoed his earlier stance, trade experts in India and the US have noted that the bilateral relationship is more complex, with both sides benefitting significantly in sectors like technology, services, and defense.

The remarks come at a time when trade discussions between New Delhi and Washington continue to feature prominently in diplomatic engagements, with both nations keen on expanding cooperation in strategic sectors despite recurring disputes over tariffs.
