<h1>India US trade talks continue after Washington meetings with July 9 tariff deadline approaching</h1> An Indian negotiating team returned from Washington after trade talks with the US, with discussions continuing to resolve issues in agriculture and automotive sectors. The talks aim to finalize an interim trade agreement before a July 9 deadline when suspended reciprocal tariffs expire. The US previously imposed additional 26 percent tariffs on Indian goods but suspended them for 90 days. India seeks full exemption from additional tariffs while the US wants duty concessions on industrial goods, automobiles, and agricultural products. Both countries are working toward a broader bilateral trade agreement to double trade to $500 billion by 2030.
