India-US Trade Talks Reach Plateau, Tariffs Narrow Deal Space

India’s finance minister said the trade talks with the United States have reached a plateau, indicating a slowdown in progress. The statement came amid growing concerns that higher tariffs on Indian goods are narrowing the room for a comprehensive trade deal. Analysts suggest that the tariff adjustments could limit the benefits India seeks from the negotiations. The government is now focusing on finding a middle ground that balances tariff levels with the broader objectives of the trade agreement. The next rounds of discussions are expected to address these tariff-related hurdles.
