India and Britain struck a “landmark” trade deal Tuesday, the UK government said, marking progress on lowering and removing tariffs just as President Donald Trump is busy raising US import taxes to historic levels.

India Free Trade Agreement gives the Scotch whisky industry a good deal. Initial tariffs are now halved, and expected to drop to 40% within 10 years.
