TIL Desk/World/Washington-The Donald Trump Administration is likely to offer a bilateral trade deal to India that could be a “win-win situation” for the two countries, sources said. Arguing that the President-elect does not believe in multilateral trade deals and is against them, the sources said his administration is interested in a bilateral trade deal with India that could be a “win-win situation” for the two countries, the two sources said.
However, the offer of first such trade deal could go to the United Kingdom, a close ally of America. Once that is finalized, the Trump Administration is expected to engage India on a similar bilateral trade deal offer, they said. The development comes hours before Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
“I think the President’s message on trade has been fairly clear. He is going to fight for American workers and American manufacturing. And that’s going to be the number one thing that guides him going forward,” incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told.
