India and the US have agreed to begin talks to resolve trade disputes and tariffs following discussions between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. India plans to increase purchases of US oil, gas, and military equipment. The leaders discussed reducing tariffs and enhancing market access for US products. India aims to double trade with the US by 2030, while the US seeks to address illegal immigration from India through strengthened law enforcement cooperation. Both countries are looking to deepen security ties, particularly in response to China's influence. The US has a significant trade deficit with India, and tariffs remain a key issue in their relationship.
