As he dispatched letters to leaders of 14 countries on Monday (local time), President Donald Trump said that the US is close to making a trade deal with India and he’s sending a letter to those who “we don’t think we’re going to be able to make a deal".

He cited the trade deals with the UK and China, with whom the US agreed to lower tariffs temporarily, which went up to three digits from either side, and said he’s sending out letters to others, informing them about the tariffs they have to pay after the August 1 deadline.

“We are close to making a deal with India. We’ve made a deal with the United Kingdom. We’ve made a deal with China. Others we met with, and we don’t think we’re going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter," Trump told reporters as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu embarked on his third visit to the US since Trump’s inauguration on January 20 this year.

“We’re sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause, we’re not going to be unfair about it," the President added.
