Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stated that India will only enter into a trade agreement with the United States if it ensures a balanced, win-win outcome for both sides.
India does not negotiate under pressure or against arbitrary timelines, showing a commitment to prioritize national interests over meeting deadlines.
Key sticking points, particularly in the agriculture and automobile sectors, remain unresolved in the interim trade deal negotiations between India and the US.
India is focusing on maintaining relative competitiveness in key sectors such as leather, textiles, and footwear, indicating a firm stance in trade negotiations.
