Modi talks trade with Pence as Trump says deals with India 'moving along'

Singapore/Washington, Nov 14 (UNI) India on Wednesday discussed two-way trade with the United States as President Donald Trump said Washington is trying "very hard" to make better deals.
"We had a brief discussion on trade related matters. That is important for both sides and we agreed that in a new relationship that we are building with the United States where trade is expanding. We need to find ways in which we can help that process to take place," Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US Vice-President Mike Pence held talks on the sidelines of the East Asia Summit in Singapore.
Gokhale said Modi remarked in particular that in the last two years — since President Donald Trump has assumed office — American exports to India have grown by 50 per cent and "it is perhaps only country, perhaps the only one, of the top 10 countries with which the US has a trade deficit, where the deficit is actually reduced last year and is on course to further reduce this year.".
