Amid rising trade tensions, Indian lobbyist Jason Miller met with former US President Donald Trump to discuss tariff-related challenges and bilateral economic ties. The meeting comes at a time when business groups on both sides are pushing for a more balanced approach to trade, particularly in areas affecting exports and market access.

According to sources familiar with the discussions, Miller highlighted the concerns of Indian businesses impacted by tariff hikes and called for greater cooperation to strengthen investment opportunities. Trump, who has been critical of trade policies in the past, listened to the proposals but did not make any immediate commitments.

The talks reflect India’s growing efforts to engage with American leaders as negotiations over tariffs and market regulations remain sensitive. Industry observers say the outcome of such meetings could play an important role in shaping future trade relations, especially with the global economy facing uncertainty.
