In a crucial diplomatic engagement, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal consulted with US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor to explore enhanced trade relations between India and the US.
The meeting's objective was to catalyze the finalization of a bilateral trade agreement. However, setbacks arose from recent US tariff impositions after a Supreme Court ruling deemed President Trump’s tariffs illegal, complicating negotiations.
Despite these challenges, India and the US are working towards a framework to conclude an interim trade deal, which seeks to reduce tariffs and solidify economic partnership, as both continue to be significant trading partners.
