India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri says negotiations for the proposed India–United States trade agreement are in the “final stages.” Misri reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump, during their meeting on the sidelines of the G7 Summit, urge negotiators to conclude the trade deal as early as possible. The remarks come after Modi and Trump hold wide-ranging talks for the first time in 16 months on the margins of the G7, with the aim of rebuilding strained bilateral ties. Both sources describe Misri’s statement as indicating that the bargaining process has moved toward finalisation, though they do not specify the timing for a formal agreement, remaining negotiating areas, or whether both sides have reached consensus on specific provisions. The reports also frame the renewed push for the trade deal within a broader effort to reset relations following a period of reduced engagement, following the leaders’ recent discussions at the G7.
