India Continues Engagement with US on Bilateral Trade Agreement Negotiations
The Indian government is actively engaged with the US in negotiating a bilateral trade agreement aimed at expanding trade to $500 billion by 2030. Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada informed Parliament that consultations continue with farmers, exporters, industry bodies, and states to address US import tariffs. Following a US Supreme Court ruling invalidating reciprocal tariffs, the US imposed a 10% tariff on certain products. Negotiations have included multiple meetings between officials from both countries.
