All in all pretty good for both sides. I am pretty sure same agreement could have been signed last year itself.

Modifying Duties to Address Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Every child deserves a safe and nurturing home where they can learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Adoption makes that possible by opening...

In Executive Order 14329 of August 6, 2025 (Addressing Threats to the United States by the Government of the Russian Federation), I found that the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066 has continued and that the actions and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. To deal with that threat, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to impose an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent on imports of articles of India, which, at that time, was directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.
I have received additional information and recommendations from senior officials regarding India’s efforts to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066. Specifically, India has committed to stop directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil, has represented that it will purchase United States energy products from the United States, and has recently committed to a framework with the United States to expand defense cooperation over the next 10 years.
After considering the information and recommendations these officials have provided to me, among other things, I have determined that India has taken significant steps to address the national emergency described in Executive Order 14066 and to align sufficiently with the United States on national security, foreign policy, and economic matters. Accordingly, I have determined to eliminate the additional ad valorem rate of duty imposed on imports of articles of India pursuant to Executive Order 14329. In my judgment, this modification is necessary and appropriate to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14066.
Sec. 2. Tariff Modifications. Effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from the warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 7, 2026, products of India imported into the United States shall no longer be subject to the additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent imposed pursuant to Executive Order 14329. Accordingly, effective 12:01 a.m. eastern standard time on February 7, 2026, headings 9903.01.84 through 9903.01.89 and subdivision (z) of U.S. Note 2 to subchapter III of chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States are hereby terminated. To the extent that implementation of this order requires a refund of duties collected, refunds shall be processed pursuant to applicable law and the standard procedures of U.S. Customs and Border Protection for such refunds.
Sec. 4. Monitoring and Recommendations. The Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and any other senior official the Secretary of Commerce deems appropriate, shall monitor whether India resumes directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil, as defined in section 7 of Executive Order 14329. If the Secretary of Commerce finds that India has resumed directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the United States Trade Representative, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the President and Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing, shall recommend whether and to what extent I should take additional action as to India, including whether I should reimpose the additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent on imports of articles of India.
Most important: The R-word was not mentioned. Russia. LOL!
India will be a agri country, this deal will ensure that we won't flex our muzzle in industrial sector
Man you and your absurd takes. How did you even reached that conclusion? Nothing in that deal put a restriction on India from improving our Industrial capabilities.
Bhai tu paida hi chutiya hua tha ya koi special course kiya?
You importing engineering product from US, do you think that you can compete with them when tax on you is 18%?
Wait a sec... you think America produces any industrial goods any more? LOL! Even if we set duty on American industrial products as ZERO, nothing will happen. Because America can not even make a simple injection mold for making plastic parts these days.
It is WAY more expensive to make things in USA than in India.
LOL!
The entire world including Europe is moving away from US treasury bonds, gradually decreasing their reliance on the USD, stocking up on bullion with the exception of little britain & Paddy here thinks what's sauce for little britain is sauce for the rest of the world & that the USD will continue to remain the reserve currency till kingdom come .
In addition to the above developments , countries associated with BRICS are negotiating trade in their own currencies or some other mechanism outside the USD apart from evolving another one to bypass the SWIFT system altogether .
As far as Russia's economy goes I wonder why doesn't Paddy pay attention to the state of affairs with the economy of the EU or that little britain is desperately signing off FTAs with anyone & everyone of note .
De industrialization of little britain is to be seen to be believed & the old fart is bringing in Russia's economy . Do let us know Paddy can the EU afford a war with Russia as of now economically speaking leaving aside the military aspect of it in terms of preparedness or manufacturing .
Russia's been a war economy since 4 years now . Do note I've mentioned Europe not little britain for it doesn't count on the above metrics. That's how far you've fallen. No country misses an empire more than little britain does for no country has fallen in all measurable parameters for great power status as little britain has.
Once upon a time , such stupid takes used to attract capital punishment. Ever since that was relaxed we've had the misfortune of suffering Paddy out here . In addition to this RoI legalised abortion only a few years ago instead of 5 decades ago which would have prevented Paddy from inflicting his views on the world.

Diego Garcia is too important for them to forfeit, so the world can forget about it. It's a place of great strategic location for them as it's there to contain us in any future conflict just like Guam is to contain/fight China.
