Goyal meets Greer to push India-US trade deal forward
In short
India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal met US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Milwaukee during the G20 Trade Ministers' meeting. They discussed an interim trade agreement, food supply chains, excess capacity and forced labour.
This matters because the talks could move India-US trade relations forward, but no deal was announced. It is still unknown whether the proposed tariffs, including the reported 100% tariff issue, were part of the meeting.
