U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking at the 2025 U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), outlined the future of U.S.-India trade ties, urging deeper economic cooperation in line with President Trump’s tariff-driven push.

“Earlier countries get a better deal. That’s the way it is,” Lutnick remarked during his keynote address at the USISPF on Monday in Washington D.C. “Those who come in, you know, July 4th to July 9th, there’s just going to be a pile. But those who are earlier—and I think India’s trying hard to be one of the earlier countries, which I appreciate.”

The commerce secretary acknowledged the unusually rapid timeline the administration is pursuing in contrast to traditional multi-year negotiations. 

“These kinds of deals used to take 2 or 3 years, and we’re trying to get them done in a month, which is, you know, just not the ordinary DNA of trading relationships between countries,” he said.

Lutnick argued that the administration is not advocating for sweeping concessions from India, but “reasonable access to the markets of India.”

“We would like our businesses to have reasonable access to the markets of India,” he said. “Now, it’s not going to be everything and it’s not going to be everywhere. But we want to have the trade deficit reduced.”

“Now in exchange for that, what India is going to want is they’re going to get certain key markets that they are going to want to make sure that they have special access to the American marketplace,” he said. “And so that’s the tradeoff.”

He said that ongoing talks between India and the U.S. are in a “very good place.”

“We’ve managed, I think, to be in a very, very good place, and you should expect a deal between the United States and India in the not-too-distant future, because I think we found a place that really works for both countries,” he said.

In a Monday evening TruthSocial post, Trump doubled down on his core trade doctrine: “If other Countries are allowed to use Tariffs against us, and we’re not allowed to counter them, quickly and nimbly, with Tariffs against them, our Country doesn’t have, even a small chance, of Economic survival.”

Trump introducing tariffs

In April, Trump imposed a 27% reciprocal tariff on most Indian exports to pressure India into lowering its tariffs. While strategic sectors like pharmaceuticals were exempt, industries such as textiles and machinery were affected. 

India has since avoided retaliation, opting instead to negotiate with the administration to ease the tariffs.
