US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer is in India for talks with Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, as both sides move toward concluding a bilateral trade agreement. Multiple reports say the visit follows negotiator-level discussions in New Delhi from June 2 to 4, where the parties worked through issues related to an interim trade arrangement.
The meetings in New Delhi focus on advancing the bilateral trade pact and addressing remaining differences that are holding up progress on an interim agreement. Coverage also describes efforts to put “final touches” on the framework of the Bilateral Trade Agreement and to resolve hurdles connected to recent changes in U.S. tariffs.
Sources further note that the discussions include aligning around the United States-India Joint Statement and exploring new economic opportunities and benefits in key sectors. Across outlets, the tone is that the talks are aimed at closing outstanding gaps and moving negotiations to the next stage, building on earlier discussions already held between officials and negotiators.
