What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Trade talks between India and the US regarding a bilateral trade agreement have been ongoing since January 2026. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that the pact is 'done and dusted,' but its execution hinges on the US providing India with the necessary competitive advantage over its rivals. Unsettled relations with the US, potential tariffs on countries buying Russian oil, and the absence of an AI market play are cited as near-term headwinds for India.
