                                           The White House,
                                         Washington, March 4, 2019.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
    Dear Madam Speaker: In accordance with section 502(f)(2) of 
the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 
2462(f)(2)), I am providing notice of my intent to terminate 
the designation of India as a beneficiary developing country 
under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program.
    I am taking this step because, after intensive engagement 
between the United States and the Government of India, I have 
determined that India has not assured the United States that it 
will provide equitable and reasonable access to the markets of 
India as set forth in section 502(c)(4) of the Trade Act (19 
U.S.C. 2462(c)(4)).
    I will continue to assess whether the Government of India 
is providing equitable and reasonable access to its markets, in 
accordance with the GSP eligibility criteria.
            Sincerely,
                                                   Donald J. Trump.

                                  [all]
