President Donald Trump said on Thursday that India has offered to eliminate tariffs on the United States as part of a potential trade deal. If that comes to pass, it could represent a significant breakthrough with an increasingly important US trading partner.

(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that India had offered a trade deal that proposed "no tariffs" for American goods, while expressing his dissatisfaction with Apple's (AAPL.O) plans to invest in India.

Speaking in Qatar, Trump declared, “India is the highest — one of the highest tariff nations in the world. It’s very hard to sell into India, and they’ve offered us a deal where, basically, they’re willing to literally charge us no tariff.”
