US Edition‘Best offer yet’: How India-US trade talks have moved
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer called India’s latest trade proposal the best yet amid talks to resolve tariff and market access issues by month-end.
- On Tuesday, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told the Senate Appropriations Committee that India submitted its final proposal last month, which he called the best the US has received.
- Amid 50 per cent tariffs from President Donald Trump, a high-level US delegation led by Deputy Trade Representative Rick Switzer is in India to negotiate with Union Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal.
- On technical issues, zero-tariff treatment for aviation parts under the 1979 Aircraft Agreement is fairly far advanced while US negotiators press India to accept agriculture and dairy imports, Jamieson Greer said.
- Sources say remaining gaps will likely need political leadership intervention, as the talks aim to sign a bilateral trade agreement by the end of the month between India and the Trump administration.
- Greer framed the talks as broader management of bilateral trade tensions, saying the sides must 'find a way to manage that trade,' while politically sensitive sectors remain Indian red lines amid tariff and market access talks.
