<h1>Indian commerce team arrives in Washington for trade talks amid tariff disputes and agricultural sector disagreements</h1> An Indian commerce ministry team has reached Washington for bilateral trade agreement negotiations beginning Monday, with the chief negotiator joining Wednesday for four-day talks ending Thursday. Both sides need to resolve issues in agriculture and automobile sectors, with the US postponing additional tariffs until August 1. The country has hardened its position against US demands for duty concessions on agricultural and dairy products, while seeking removal of additional tariffs on steel, aluminum, and auto sectors. The US wants concessions on industrial goods, automobiles, wines, and agricultural items, while the other country seeks duty reductions for textiles, gems, leather goods, and various agricultural products. Both nations aim to conclude the first phase by fall 2025.
