US and India Near Agreement on Bilateral Trade with Potential Lower Tariffs for India
The United States and India are nearing completion of negotiations on a Bilateral Trade Agreement, with the US considering more favorable tariff terms for India compared to other Asian exporters like Bangladesh and Vietnam. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the goal of sustainable trade benefiting both nations. While Indian officials report an accommodative US stance, past talks under former President Trump faced challenges due to shifting demands and high tariffs, delaying progress. Current efforts focus on finalizing a mutually beneficial deal soon.
