Conflicting domestic economic policies, sudden judicial disruptions, and fresh American tariff investigations have upended the India-US trade deal.
About two weeks ago, the much-anticipated bilateral trade agreement (BTA) between India and the United States (US) seemed close to completion. United States Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer led his team to New Delhi, and both governments aligned on claims that 99 percent of the deal was finalised.
Immediately after Greer’s visit, however, the Indian government unexpectedly pulled back from the deal.
