USISPF Urges US Talks Urgency Amid UK Trade Deal Success
India is working on a trade deal with the United States, but it's taking longer than its deal with the UK.
A US group is worried India could be left out as other countries make deals with the US.
The UK deal helps India a lot by removing taxes on most of its exports, but the US deal is still in the early stages.
If India and the US don't agree soon, taxes on Indian goods could go up, which would be bad for businesses.
India has already offered its ideas, and now the US needs to respond.
Both sides are looking at ways to make the deal better, like focusing on products that don't compete.
A quick deal could bring in more investment and improve trade overall.
USISPF warns India risks isolation in trade talks with the US.
India-UK FTA eliminates tariffs on 99% of Indian exports.
US tariffs on Indian exports are set to increase to 26% after August if no deal.
India submitted a proposal to the US, awaiting action.
US negotiating team is expected in India next week.
