Indian and U.S. officials will meet to discuss trade
AFP, Mumbai, 15th - India and the United States are trying to resolve tariff disputes. According to reports from Indian media, officials from both countries are expected to discuss trade issues tomorrow in New Delhi, the capital of India.
India is the most populous country in the world, and most products exported to the United States face high U.S. tariffs, and no trade agreement has been reached so far to alleviate the tariff burden.
U.S. President Trump believes that energy transactions are an important source of revenue for Russia in the war in Ukraine. Last month, in order to pressure Russia, he decided to increase tariffs on Indian products to 50% to punish India for continuing to purchase Russian oil. This move has further strained India-U.S. relations.
Despite this, leaders of both the United States and India have recently emphasized that they remain committed to continuous negotiations.
According to a report from "The Indian Express", Anil Agarwal, an official from the Department of Commerce and Industry of India, stated at today's briefing that Indian and U.S. officials will meet tomorrow to discuss trade issues.
NDTV reported that members of the U.S. delegation include Assistant Trade Representative Lynch for South and Central Asian Affairs.
The report also emphasized that this discussion is just a preparatory meeting for the final round of full-scale negotiations.
