India and US Continue Talks on Bilateral Trade Deal with Possible G20 Conclusion
India and the US continue negotiations on a bilateral trade agreement, with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal expressing confidence that India will secure one of the "best" deals, including preferential market access for key products. The framework for the first phase was finalized in February, but recent changes in US tariffs have delayed completion. Both sides aim to conclude the deal possibly by the December G20 Summit. Former US diplomat Nisha Biswal described the talks as complex, highlighting ongoing discussions on comparative advantages and customs facilitation.
