India-US trade deal may await investigations into rival countries
A trade agreement between India and the United States may not be announced until investigations and possible tariffs target some of India’s competitor countries, The Hindu reports. The newspaper says fresh Section 301 investigations are likely to be announced soon, but the supplied material gives no details about the countries or negotiations.
An India-US trade deal is unlikely to be concluded until some of India’s competitor countries have been investigated and potentially subjected to tariffs, The Hindu reports. The newspaper says an announcement on fresh Section 301 investigations against some of those countries is likely soon. The supplied material does not identify the countries involved or specify the products and trade practices that might be examined.
It also provides no timetable for the proposed investigations, no details of possible tariff measures and no account of the current state of India-US negotiations. The report therefore indicates a possible link between the investigations and the timing of a trade agreement, but gives no information about whether either government has formally confirmed that condition.
