Trade War Looms: US Halts Talks, But Team Still Headed to India
The Trump administration has reportedly put a freeze on trade talks with India until outstanding tariff disputes are resolved. This comes after the US imposed hefty tariffs on several Indian goods, ostensibly due to concerns over India’s energy ties with Russia.
However, a US delegation is still scheduled to visit India for discussions, creating a confusing situation. New Delhi is yet to receive official confirmation of the reported halt in negotiations.
The unexpected tariffs threaten to significantly impact Indian exports, particularly in sectors already facing global headwinds. This development adds another layer of complexity to the already strained bilateral relationship.
The upcoming visit by the US team will be keenly watched, as it will reveal the true intentions of the US administration and the potential path forward for resolving this trade impasse. The outcome could significantly impact India’s economic growth trajectory and its broader foreign policy strategy.
