India-US Trade Deal Hits a Few Hurdles, But Both Sides Are Still Working Towards an Agreement

New US tariff laws and an ongoing Section 301 probe add uncertainty for exporters. Both sides seek concessions yet face domestic political limits, making a comprehensive agreement difficult unless strategic priorities override economic disagreements.
