$40 billion yearly from India to USA !!!

-

 The goods and services data show a $ 44.4 billion deficit for the US in FY2025,The President Trump claimed the US had a $100 billion trade deficit with india. The real number is less than half of that and even that doesn't tell the full story. While goods and services data show a $ 44.4 billion deficit for the US in FY2025, america actually rakes  in far money from india through less obvious channels. From higher education and tech to financial services and arm sales , the US quietly pockets $ 80-85 billion each year.


According to Global  Trade research initiative (GTRI), once america's earnings from education digital services , consulting ,intellectual property , and defense sales are factored , in it runs a net surplus of $ 35- 40 billion with India.

This drastically shifts the narrative. India not a trader outlier exploiting US openness it is a lucrative market powering American profits across key sectors.

The most striking example is higher education. Indian students spend over $25 billion annually in the US , with top universities like USC ,NYU,and purdue among the biggest beneficiaries. The average Indian Student spends between $87,000 and $ 142,000 a year.
