India's trade minister, Piyush Goyal, will journey to the United States from September 29 to October 5 to discuss a proposed bilateral trade agreement and finalize an interim agreement, according to the Indian government. The visit will also see Goyal participate in a G20 trade ministers' meeting in Wisconsin at the invitation of U.S. Trade Representative Jamie L. Fraser.
Goyal aims to engage in bilateral discussions with his U.S. counterpart, as part of ongoing efforts to advance a balanced and mutually beneficial India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA). The final interim deal is expected to align with the Joint Statement from February 7, 2026. However, the Indian and U.S. sides have yet to reach a consensus on the trade agreement, with New Delhi holding out for a more favorable deal.
Recent reports suggest that India has informed Washington that new measures to levy tariffs on the purchase of Russian oil could impact bilateral relations.
