India and US Set to Discuss Major Trade Deal
A significant Indian trade delegation, led by Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, is heading to the US next week to discuss a potential interim trade agreement. While tensions between the US and China have eased, India remains cautious, focusing on its own competitive edge. The US's tariffs on steel and aluminum are affecting Indian exports, prompting India to consider retaliatory measures. Officials emphasize the need for a trade deal that benefits both nations, as India navigates through ongoing negotiations while also addressing strict US data localization demands.
