The U.S.–India Business Council (USIBC) applauds the recent positive remarks by President Trump and Prime Minister Modi, and underscores the importance of safeguarding the strong U.S.–India partnership at a time of global uncertainty. For 50 years, USIBC has worked to promote closer economic ties between our two nations, helping build the collaborative environment vital for innovation, job creation, and resilient supply chains.
Through 25 years of partnership, the U.S. and India have demonstrated that we can resolve our disagreements through private, mutually respectful discussion. At this difficult impasse, the business community urges both governments to do so once again. There is too much at stake in this era of rising geostrategic competition to abandon the progress we have made together.
Now is the time to make the hard choices needed to conclude an ambitious bilateral trade deal that can restore investor confidence and unleash prosperity for both our nations. It’s time to double down on the U.S.-India partnership—for our economies, our people, and our shared values.
USIBC, representing hundreds of leading American and Indian companies, remains fully committed to helping.
