As Indian trade negotiators arrived in the US for a final round of in-person talks ahead of the July 9 deadline for the reciprocal tariff pause, US President Donald Trump said the US "will reach a deal (with India) where we have the right to go in and trade".The final round of talks assume significance following the previous discussions made little headway, with market access in agriculture and other sensitive sectors still unresolved.An Indian team led by chief negotiator for the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) Special Secretary Rajesh Agrawal visited the US for at least a two-day visit between June 26-27, holding meetings with the US side led by US Assistant United States Trade Representative (USTR), as the July 9 tariff pause deadline nears.Jefferies' Greed & Fear: Traders Should Move Money From US Dollar To Asian-EM Currencies, Says Chris Wood"We’re looking to get a full trade barrier dropping, which is unthinkable," Trump said late on Friday night. "I'm not sure that that's going to happen, but as of this moment, we've agreed to that go into Indian trade," he said, without specifying details of any official deal.However, the two sides continue sparring on key terms, including the entry of genetically-modified crops and dairy produce into India, and the removal of the 26% reciprocal tariffs imposed by the U.S., according to sources. India has also demanded assurances that no additional tariffs will be imposed by the Donald Trump administration once the BTA is finalised.Among other key points are the steel, aluminium and auto component tariffs that have been imposed as a result of a separate executive order, and are continue to hit Indian exporters despite a pause in reciprocal tariffs. Despite these hurdles, both sides remain keen, and not "desperate" to strike a limited deal before the July 9 deadline, which marks the expiration of a temporary tariff truce agreed upon earlier this year. However, Indian officials have said "national interests" will not be compromised and remain "supreme". If the July 9 deadline passes without a deal, tariffs are expected to revert to April 2 levels, potentially reimposing duties on a range of goods on both sides. However, sources say India will gain in some areas and lose in some, with a competitive edge being retained over rival manufacturing economies, even if the earlier tariffs snap back into place.Trump Ends Trade Talks With Canada, Threatens To Set Tariff.
