On Wednesday, Indian Ambassador to the US, Vinay Mohan Kwatra, held discussions with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and former National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien regarding the ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). This meeting comes as both nations are working on the finer details of the agreement, which aims to reduce tariffs on Indian goods to 18%. However, the timeline for finalizing the deal has been affected by a recent ruling from the US Supreme Court, which deemed former President Donald Trump's tariff policies unconstitutional. The agreement was initially set to be signed in March, but changes in the tariff landscape necessitate a reevaluation. Discussions also touched on broader bilateral cooperation and global developments. The trade negotiations are further complicated by US investigations into forced labor and overcapacity in manufacturing sectors, which include India and China.
