🇮🇳🇺🇸 India-U.S. Trade Talks Stalled Over Agriculture, Tariff Relief
 Deal Unlikely Before Aug X Deadline, Sources Say



A much-anticipated U.S.-India trade deal is slipping out of reach as talks remain deadlocked over agriculture access and tariff rollbacks, according to Indian officials cited by Reuters.

🔴 What’s the holdup?

India refuses to open politically sensitive agriculture & dairy sectors

Washington won’t ease sectoral tariffs India wants removed

📉 “An interim deal before August X looks difficult,” one Indian official said, though virtual talks are ongoing.

Trump’s Aug X deadline for new tariffs looms. India had hoped to avoid the full XX% rate and settle near 10–20%, better than Southeast Asian peers like Vietnam.

🗣️ State Bank of India’s Soumya Kanti Ghosh says New Delhi may offer non-agriculture concessions instead—but won’t budge on its red lines.

🧾 Latest timeline:

July 7: Trump signs executive order extending tariff talks deadline

July 17: India seeks better tariff terms than those offered to Indonesia & Vietnam

This week: No breakthrough after 5th round of talks

Will politics derail one of the most strategic trade partnerships of 2025?
