"We fear that our labour-intensive exports of agriculture, marine and handicraft products to the US would be hit hard," Ajay Sahai, director general of the Federation of Indian Export Organisations, told Reuters.

US President Donald Trump on Monday said he intended to end India's preferential trade treatment under a program that allows $5.6 billion worth of Indian exports to enter the United States duty free.
