<h1>South Asian Leader to Address UN Amid US Tariffs and Ongoing Trade Talks Under Section 301</h1> A head of government from a South Asian country is expected to address the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September. The session will feature high-level debates with multiple world leaders, including the US president. The two countries involved are negotiating a multi-sector bilateral trade agreement aimed for completion by fall 2025. Despite ongoing talks, the US imposed tariffs totaling 50% on the South Asian country, including a 25% tariff on its purchases of Russian oil, effective late August. The South Asian country's government has condemned the tariffs as unjustified and stated it will take necessary measures to protect its national interests and economic security. The US team is scheduled to visit the South Asian country for the sixth round of trade negotiations shortly before the tariffs take effect. The UN General Assembly speaker list remains provisional and subject to change.
