Former Diplomats & Trade Negotiators - India-US Trade Negotiations

Looking for Experts | India–US Trade Negotiations India and the United States are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement at a time when tariffs, market access and broader strategic considerations are increasingly intertwined. But the negotiations raise questions that extend beyond trade figures and tariff concessions. What are the principal sticking points? How much negotiating room does New Delhi have? Can India and the US compartmentalise their trade disagreements without affecting the broader strategic partnership? And what would a mutually beneficial agreement actually look like? I am working on an article for The India Interest examining these questions and their implications for India's economic and foreign-policy interests. I am looking to incorporate perspectives from former diplomats, trade negotiators, economists, international trade specialists and researchers working on India–US relations. The format is straightforward: two or three brief questions, with responses incorporated into the article and duly attributed. No recorded interview is required. I would particularly welcome perspectives that go beyond the immediate negotiations and examine their longer-term implications for India–US relations. If you work in any of these areas, or know someone whose insights could contribute to this discussion, I would be glad to connect. #IndiaUSRelations #TradeNegotiations #IndiaUS #ForeignPolicy #InternationalTrade #Geopolitics #TheIndiaInterest
