Donald Trump’s claim that India has offered to drop all tariffs on goods imported from his country has been swiftly disputed by Delhi. In a statement to local news agencies India’s foreign minister S Jaishankar countered the claim saying talks are still going on and “nothing is decided till everything is”.

The statement is in stark contrast to comments by Trump to reporters earlier in the day, when he declared Delhi had “offered us a deal where basically they are willing to literally charge us no tariff”.

India and the US are currently in talks to negotiate a trade agreement. Jaishankar said on Thursday that any trade deal has to be mutually beneficial and work for both countries.

    Great photo on the article. Is Trump aging super fast now? He looks significantly older than he did even back in January.
