<h1>Government think-tank allegedly withdraws paper recommending duty-free GM crop imports from America amid trade negotiations</h1> A political leader alleged that a government think-tank withdrew a working paper on Indo-US agricultural trade relations after initially publishing it. The paper reportedly recommended allowing duty-free imports of genetically-modified crops from America and adopting selective tariff reductions on non-sensitive agricultural commodities. The leader criticized prioritizing foreign agricultural interests over domestic farmers. Meanwhile, Indian officials are conducting extended negotiations in Washington for an interim trade agreement, with talks entering a crucial stage before a July deadline when suspended reciprocal tariffs may resume. Both countries seek to finalize arrangements before the tariff suspension expires.
