India and US near trade deal as final sticking point remainsfinal sticking point remains
India and the United States are close to finalizing a trade deal, with U.S. envoy Sergio Gor saying on Wednesday in India that only a small remaining issue is still under discussion.
A U.S. trade delegation is in India to negotiate the pact, and both sides expect it could be signed within weeks, which matters because it would deepen economic ties between the two countries.
- India and the United States are among the world's largest democracies and major trading partners.
- Trade talks between the two countries often mix tariffs, technology access, and agricultural market access.
- A final trade pact could influence supply chains that run through Asia, North America, and Europe.
