US-India Trade Agreement Nears Completion After Extended NegotiationsPreviousNext

The US-India bilateral trade agreement is nearing completion, with negotiators reportedly finalizing the last 1-2% of the legal text after nearly 18 months of talks. US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor and US Trade Representative Jamieson Lee Greer have expressed optimism about concluding the deal soon. The agreement aims to boost bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2030, supported by strong ties between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Recent judicial delays were overcome through diplomatic efforts, and the broader US-India relationship remains positive.
