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.

A bilateral trade deal between India and the United Kingdom could be signed after three months and will take over a year to implement, an Indian government official said on Thursday.

Britain and India have agreed on a hard-wrought free trade agreement that will reduce or eliminate tariffs on Scotch whisky and scores of other products.
