<h1>Bilateral trade talks paused after five rounds over high tariffs and market access disputes affecting farmers</h1> Negotiations on a proposed bilateral trade agreement between two countries are paused after five rounds, though officials say talks may resume soon; dates for the next round are not finalised. One side has imposed high tariffs-an additional 25% and a separate 25% on purchases of Russian oil-which both sides agree must be addressed to reach a deal. The pause followed the visiting negotiating team's postponement and disputes over market access demands in politically sensitive sectors such as agriculture and dairy, which the other side says would harm small and marginal farmers.
