India, US Push Interim Trade Deal as Greer Cautions It's Not Imminent

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer met on the sidelines of the G20 Trade Ministers' Meeting in Milwaukee to advance an interim trade agreement under the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. Goyal called the talks productive, but Greer said a deal is not imminent, citing unresolved sticking points. The meeting followed a phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump covering trade, defence, energy and critical technologies.
