Amid the ongoing threat of further tariffs, a number of countries have been trying to negotiate with the US over trade.
And US Vice-President JD Vance says a "vital step" has been made in his country's negotiations with India over a trade deal, with the terms of reference agreed.
Vance met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence in New Delhi yesterday.
The vice-president adds they made progress on reaching a trade agreement based on "shared priorities" - such as creating jobs, building durable supply chains and improving prosperity for workers in both nations.
"I believe this is a vital step towards realising President Trump's and Prime Minister Modi's vision, because it sets a roadmap towards a final deal between our nations," Vance says.
