Trump, while visiting the Middle East, stated that the Indian government has proposed a trade deal that would lead to "no tariffs" on imported U.S. goods. He shared this information during an event with business leaders in Doha, where he also announced various deals between the U.S. and Qatar, including agreements concerning Boeing jets.
