U.S.-India Trade Agreement Nears Completion, Signing Possible in 3-4 Months
A U.S.-India trade agreement is close to completion and could be signed within three to four months, according to a senior U.S. official. The main remaining step is the conclusion of U.S. Section 301 trade investigations into unfair practices, which may lead to tariffs. These investigations are expected to finish soon, after which progress on the deal and other trade agreements is anticipated. The agreement aims to expand market access and deepen economic ties between the two countries.
