WASHINGTON — The White House released a report on November 3, 2026, documenting 127 campaign promises President Donald Trump claims to have fulfilled since returning to office in January 2025. The document, titled 'President Trump's Second Term: Promises Made, Promises Kept, Results Delivered,' was posted on the White House website on the final day of campaigning ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress.
On trade, the report lists India among countries with which President Trump claims to have secured new and improved trade agreements, citing the interim trade framework announced in February between the United States and India. Under the framework, India was to eliminate or reduce tariffs on all US industrial goods and a range of US farm products, while the United States set an 18 percent reciprocal tariff on Indian goods. The United States also agreed to remove the reciprocal tariff on goods such as generic pharmaceuticals, gems and diamonds and aircraft parts, subject to the successful conclusion of the Interim Agreement.
The February 6 joint statement announced only a framework, stating both countries would work toward finalizing the Interim Agreement with a view to concluding a mutually beneficial Bilateral Trade Agreement consistent with the roadmap agreed in the Terms of Reference. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said on October 15 that the first tranche had been finalised and was going through legal drafting. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal said the same day that the deal would be signed and implemented after legal vetting, without giving a date.
The White House also credited Trump with helping secure peace in eight global conflicts, including the four-day military confrontation between India and Pakistan. New Delhi has maintained that no third party was involved in those negotiations. The report covers a wide range of policy areas including border security, energy production, taxation and foreign policy, and was released as Republicans fight to retain control of both chambers of Congress.
