India should push for joint statement in trade talks with US: GTRI

India must proceed with caution in its trade talks with the US, drawing lessons from countries like Vietnam and Japan, economic think tank GTRI said on Sunday. To prevent any misrepresentation, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said New Delhi should insist on a jointly issued written statement before acknowledging the final terms of any agreement.

It's not a loan or anything, it's a signing bonus, the Republican president said, on the trade framework that lowered his threatened tariff from 25 per cent to 15 per cent, including on autos. A White House official said the terms are being negotiated and nothing has been formalised in writing. The official, who insisted on anonymity to detail the terms of the talks, suggested the goal was for the USD550 billion fund to make investments at Trump's .
