An American negotiating team is expected to visit India in June to advance talks on an interim bilateral trade agreement, Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday.
The proposed visit follows talks held in Washington in April, when an Indian negotiating team met American counterparts for an in-person discussion on the trade deal.
India and the US are negotiating an interim BTA under a revised tariff framework after reciprocal tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were struck down by the US Supreme Court on February 20.
The US team's visit comes ahead of US secretary of state Marco Rubio's visit to India from May 23, during which he is expected to discuss cooperation in areas such as trade, defence, and energy.
