Greer Signals No Imminent India Deal as Goyal Pushes for Interim Agreement
U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer stated that a trade deal with India is not imminent, despite recent high-level talks. While Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal expressed optimism about an interim agreement, Washington remains focused on India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. The two sides met in Milwaukee for the G20 trade ministers’ meeting, where they discussed steel overcapacity and the Most-Favoured-Nation principle, but core disagreements persist.
