(Rapaport) - Martin Rapaport, chairman of the Rapaport Group, called on India to show reciprocity in its trade relationship with the United States. “America is and will be India’s most important market,” Rapaport said on Monday at the ‘Mines to Market’ conference, marking 50 years of India’s Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council. “American demand will grow significantly due to new economic policies and the U.S. government will insist on a level playing field,” he added, citing President Donald Trump’s policy of leveraging American power to rebalance what he considers to be unfair trade ties with large export nations such as China.
