India's Trade Negotiations and Free Trade Agreement Strategy Under Review
India's trade relations, particularly with the US and other partners, are under scrutiny amid ongoing negotiations and expanding free trade agreements (FTAs). While the US is a key strategic and trade partner, recent unilateral tariff threats by the US have raised concerns about the effectiveness of negotiations. Meanwhile, India's broader FTA strategy aims to boost market access and economic integration but faces challenges such as widening trade deficits with some Asian partners, prompting calls for a more nuanced assessment of FTAs' benefits.
