Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal held a constructive conversation with US trade representative Jamieson Greer, aiming for an early conclusion of a mutually advantageous interim trade pact between India and the United States. The dialogue took place during the G20 trade ministers meeting in Milwaukee, on the same day as US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's telephone discussion to assess bilateral cooperation in various areas.
Goyal, currently in the US from September 29 to October 5, shared his views on the G20 deliberations under US Chairmanship and the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement. During a session on weaponization of food through coercive trade actions, Goyal emphasized the importance of ensuring food remains a source of security, stability, and cooperation, while drawing a line between the weaponization of food supply chains and legitimate measures adopted by nations to fulfill domestic policy objectives and address food-security needs.
