India an important trade and strategic partner: US Trade Representative
The HinduIndia is an important trading and strategic partner of the US, a top Biden administration official has told American lawmakers, asserting that despite some sharp differences, the two countries have agreed to work together on various issues, including the market access commitments. It was very important for us as the USTR and for me personally to go to Delhi to revive that trade policy forum.” As a result of the Trade Policy Forum, the US secured commitments from India to open up trade for the first time or to resume trade in a number of areas. While it won't be easy, the US should consider entering formal negotiations with India, which presents an enormous opportunity for growth for US farmers, especially a state like Montana -- that is the number one producer of pulse crops, India the number one consumer,” Mr. Daines said. It was extremely important for us in the Biden administration to restart that trade policy forum with India and to do it at the ministerial level”.
