India and US Maintain Commitment to Bilateral Trade Deal Amid Tariff Uncertainties
India and the US continue regular talks to finalize a bilateral trade agreement based on a framework agreed in February. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal emphasized both sides' commitment despite uncertainties from recent US tariff changes and a Senate bill proposing tariffs on major Russian oil importers, including India. The bill remains under US legislative consideration. India faces additional US duties under a Section 301 probe on forced labor allegations, and negotiations aim to enhance trade stability and predictability for businesses in both countries.
