India Takes Cautious Line as US Tariff Clock Ticks Down
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is facing domestic pressure to protect India's politically-sensitive farm sector as the nation scrambles to close a trade deal with the Trump administration and dodge higher US tariffs.
India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said over the weekend that trade negotiations are guided by the country's 'national interests' and the government wouldn't be tied to any deadline. New Delhi has also toughened its stance in the talks, threatening retaliatory duties on some US goods.
