Trade talks: US team to visit India on August 25

Though both the sides remain engaged to iron out differences before August 1 deadline, the prospects for an interim deal look dim for now

- 

The US team will visit India on August 25 for the next round of negotiations for the proposed bilateral trade agreement between the two countries, an official said on Tuesday.

Though the team is coming at the end of next month, both sides remain engaged to iron out differences for an interim trade deal before August 1, which marks the end of the suspension period of tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on dozens of countries, including India (26%).
