The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- U.S.
- Trade Representative Jamieson Greer wrapped up a two-day visit to New Delhi, holding multiple meetings with Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on an interim trade agreement and the broader Bilateral Trade Agreement.
- Both sides said negotiating teams have made substantial progress in recent months, covering areas like market access, digital trade, supply chains, and non-tariff barriers.
- The talks are aimed at first concluding an interim deal as a step toward the comprehensive BTA.
- However, the joint statement gave no deadlines, even though both deals have already missed earlier timelines of fall 2025 and April-May 2026, making the outcome of the delayed negotiations important for businesses and farmers in both countries.
What to watch next
- Whether a firm date is set for concluding the interim agreement, which has already missed its April-May 2026 target.
- Whether outstanding sticking points in the core BTA areas, such as market access and non-tariff barriers, are resolved in follow-up negotiations.
- Any announcement on the comprehensive BTA, which was originally due to be completed by fall 2025.
