BusinessUS and India Trade Negotiators Set to Meet in Washington This Week to Advance Bilateral Trade Deal
US and India trade negotiating teams will meet in person in Washington from April 20 to 22, focusing on tariff barriers and other key issues. The talks follow a bilateral cooperation framework announced in February, which included a plan to cut US duties on Indian goods from 25 percent to 18 percent.
U.S. and Indian trade negotiating representatives will hold talks in Washington from April 20-22 on key trade agreement issues. This is the two countries' first face-to-face consultation within three to four months. U.S. Trade Representative Greer stated that tariff barriers are the core priority, with both sides already conducting multiple exchanges on this matter. In February, the two governments announced a cooperation framework with India reducing certain tariffs and the U.S. planning tariff reductions on Indian goods from 25% to 18%. This round of talks aims to advance framework legalization and implementation, discussing non-tariff barriers and medical device disputes. However, the U.S. Supreme Court previously ruled some reciprocal tariff measures unconstitutional, creating new uncertainties for bilateral negotiations. Analysts noted that a final U.S.-India trade agreement would significantly impact global supply chain configuration.
