Three reasons why India-US trade deal stands on shaky ground
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. India has secured lower tariffs from the US with the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement, but details shared last week, especially by Washington and President Donald Trump, have raised questions about the deal’s sustainability. Three issues sit at the core: Can India realistically buy $500 billion worth of US goods over five years? Has it committed to halting oil imports from Russia? And does the deal shield India from future tariff hikes or trade restrictions? Each of these questions highlights the gap between the deal’s promises and the practical challenges ahead.

Subscribe to enjoy similar stories.
