India and US Continue Negotiations on Bilateral Trade Deal Ahead of G20 Summit
India and the US are negotiating the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement, aiming for completion possibly by the upcoming G20 Summit. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal expressed confidence that India will secure one of the best deals, including preferential market access over competitors. While a framework was finalized in February, ongoing US tariff changes have delayed finalization. Both sides continue discussions, with US officials recently visiting India for customs and trade facilitation talks. The agreement currently focuses on goods, with services to be addressed later.
