WASHINGTON: Differences between the US and India cannot be resolved overnight to arrive at a trade deal, a senior US official told reporters late on Thursday, citing geopolitical disagreements. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday Washington was still negotiating with India on trade after announcing earlier that day the US would impose a 25 percent tariff on goods imported from the country starting on Friday.

India has changed basically more tariffs than almost any other country, "but now I am in charge, and you just can't do that," the US President stressed

Trade negotiations continue between India and the US but sticking points remain, especially around agriculture.
