India-US Interim Trade Deal Negotiations Delayed After US Supreme Court Tariff Ruling

India and the United States have delayed their interim trade deal negotiations by three to four months following a US Supreme Court ruling that invalidated key tariff authorities from the Trump administration. This ruling has complicated efforts to reduce US tariffs on Indian goods from 25% to 18%, initially planned for mid-March 2026. Both countries are reassessing their positions, with talks to resume once US trade policy direction becomes clearer. Securing trade agreements remains vital for India's export sectors and integration into global markets.
