External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar indicated that trade negotiations between India and the United States are moving in the right direction and are approaching a conclusion, though final details have yet to be resolved. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in New Delhi, Jaishankar told Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait that the talks are close to a landing point.
