US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is visiting India for two days to discuss a bilateral trade agreement with Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. This visit aims to finalize tariff rates and potentially resolve months of trade disputes, including issues related to India's protected farm sector, which remains a significant obstacle. Analysts suggest the talks could lead to a broad trade bargain and a political reset for the relationship, which has experienced strain over trade, Indian workers, and the Strait of Hormuz. The US-India bilateral trade agreement was initiated in February of last year by Presidents Trump and Modi.
