Event Summary

Negotiations for a trade agreement between India and the United States are progressing well, with a framework deal ready to be signed at the right time, according to Indian officials. India is seeking a comparative advantage on tariffs over competitor nations. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer held bilateral talks last month. The US has also launched Section 301 investigations into forced labor and excess capacity, proposing tariffs of 12.5% on India and others, which remain proposals. India is engaging with the USTR on these issues. The bilateral trade is growing, and India has increased energy imports from the US. Both sides deny any differences.
