India aims for a trade agreement with the United States before August 1. Officials want tariffs lower than those agreed with Indonesia. The US president suggests a similar deal for India. India seeks rates more favorable than Vietnam's.

Trump announced the pact with Indonesia, a relatively minor U.S. trading partner, as he continued to press for what he views as better terms with trading partners and ways to shrink a huge U.S. trade deficit.

Indonesia also has agreed to purchase billions in U.S. energy, agriculture products and airplanes, Trump said July 15 in a social media post.
