India-US Trade Deal

Negotiations for a trade deal between India and the US are ongoing with significant implications for both economies and global partnerships.

Why This Matters

International trade deals have major socioeconomic impacts, engaging public interest regarding job prospects and economic policies.

Public Sentiment Summary

The public sentiment surrounding the India-US trade deal is predominantly skeptical and critical, with strong concerns about adverse effects on India's agricultural and dairy sectors. Comments highlight a distrust of US motives and a preference for fair trade that prioritizes India's self-sufficiency. Many users believe that significant concessions from India are unlikely and suggest delaying negotiations until a more favorable political climate in the US arises.

Highlighted Comments

The sticking point- genetically modified crops and 'non-veg' milk that the US is stressing upon selling to Indians would never be agreed upon by the government.

NO TRADE DEAL WITH TACO!!

India is not Indonesia; Indian electorate is highly critical and opinionated. PM Modi would not be able to accept any agricultural or dairy import from anywhere.

Good for Indian people; we should not be partners of a capitalistic country. USA only has market; Russia has energy and resources which are important for common people of India.

Trade deal seems to be DOA.

There will be no trade deal. No agriculture for USA.

Yeah sincere request to my government, please don't sign any deal with TACO Trump. We can wait 3.5 years and get something meaningful.

US is requiring more access to Indian dairy and agriculture... opening up both agriculture and dairy will be disastrous for Indian economy.

Do you think Trump will go easy because India hasn’t shown any reaction to him? Gandhian philosophy does not work against bullies.
