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.

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.

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.
