Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership, saying the India–US trade deal is a major step forward for the country.

Calling it a “significant milestone”, he said the move would open up new opportunities for young people, farmers and small businesses.

Taking to X, the Chief Minister wrote, “On behalf of the people of Assam, we wholeheartedly applaud Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji for his credible and globally respected statesmanship, which has elevated India’s influence on the world stage. Today marks a significant milestone as Made in India products gain access to an even larger global marketplace, opening new opportunities for our youth, farmers, and MSMEs. This agreement will be a force multiplier in creating new avenues of collaboration between people of both of our countries. Under the leadership of President @realDonaldTrump and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, the world’s oldest and largest democracies are now working even closer to achieve global peace and prosperity.”
