NEW YORK/WASHINGTON:Ahead of trade talks between Indian and US officials in Delhi, White House trade advisor Peter Navarro said India, which has the “highest tariffs” of any major country, is “coming to the table.”

His comments came ahead of the Trump administration’s chief negotiator Brendan Lynch’s day-long talks on Tuesday on the proposed India-US bilateral trade deal, which was impacted after the imposition of 50 per cent import tariffs by the US on Indian goods.

“India is coming to the table…The Maharajah of tariffs,” Navarro said in an interview to CNBC Monday.
