A complex trade relationship characterised by dualtrack diplomacy is being navigated by the United States and India. The two countries are at odds before the WTO in Geneva while negotiators meet in Washington to finalise an interim trade agreement that aims to increase bilateral commerce by $500 billion by 2030. U.S. access to Indias dairy and agricultural industries is a contentious topic, as India opposes it because of domestic sensitivities. India is also defending its dairy import certification standards and contesting U.S. steel and auto parts levies. India will not accept deals under duress to meet deadlines, stressed Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. Indias changing trade posture is reflected in this strategic duality cooperation in Washington and assertion in Geneva, while remaining unyielding to national interests. Read More..

EU, South Korea Race to Seal U.S. Trade Deals Before August 1 Tariff Deadline

In order to avert the imposition of high tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, the European Union and South Korea are negotiati

In order to avert the imposition of high tariffs that are scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2025, the European Union and South Korea are negotiating trade agreements with the United States rapidly. As tensions over international trade rise, President Donald Trump has proposed a 25% tariff on South Korean exports and a 30% duty on the majority of imports from the EU and Mexico. While Yeo Hankoo, the trade minister of South Korea, indicated a willingness to agricultural concessions, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic cautioned that such levies might severely harm transatlantic activity. Should negotiations fail, Italy has planned €21 billion in punitive levies. Market responses have been subdued, but sectors like spirits and cars are preparing for the effect. Both areas want to avert economic disruption by reaching inprinciple agreements prior to the deadline. Read More..

The goal of Googles formal announcement is to create a single operating system that would work seamlessly on laptops, tablets, and phones by combining ChromeOS with Android.
