United States President Donald Trump on Thursday in Doha said that India had offered the U.S. a trade deal with zero tariffs.

The Indian government 바카라œoffered us a deal where basically they are willing to literally charge us no tariff", Bloomberg quoted him as saying.

Trump, while speaking at an event with business leaders in Qatar, said that the Indian government has 바카라œoffered us a deal where basically they are willing to literally charge us no tariff", Bloomberg quoted him as saying. However, Trump did not offer any further details into India's apparent offer.

Trump stated that he spoke with Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook and urged him not to expand the company바카라™s operations in India. "I told him, 'I don바카라™t want you building in India,'" Trump said, recounting the conversation.

According to Trump, Apple will instead be increasing its production within the United States.

His comments on tariffs come amid New Delhi바카라™s ongoing efforts to secure a trade agreement with Washington during a 90-day pause on broad reciprocal tariffs. The pause follows Trump's April 9 'Liberation Day' announcement, during which he imposed a 26 percent tariff on Indian goods.
