Commerce minister says agreement hinges on Washington providing tariff advantage against rival economies

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reviewed key trade issues, but negotiations offered few signals on when an interim agreement may be concluded

India and the US on Wednesday concluded two-day ministerial-level talks on the proposed first phase of the bilateral trade agreement (BTA), a framework for which was announced in February this year. Both sides are looking at finalising the talks before the expiry of the 10 per cent temporary tariffs imposed by the US on all its trading partners on February 24. The tariffs will expire on July 24. The talks were held between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer here. "Concluded a series of meetings with @USTradeRep Ambassador Jamieson Greer and his delegation this morning. We reviewed progress of the ongoing IndiaUS trade discussions and explored avenues to further deepen our economic partnership. "I appreciate Ambassador Greer's leadership and the sustained efforts of both teams in advancing our discussions in a constructive and forward-looking manner," Goyal said in a social media post.
