US lawmakers urge Donald Trump administration to restore India's trade privileges

India Today  

Forty-four members of the US Congress have urged President Donald Trump's trade representative to restore trade concessions to India, saying the withdrawal of the privilege had led to retaliatory tariffs from New Delhi which were hurting U.S. industry. In the letter addressed to United State Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and dated Sept. 17, the members of Congress said: "Just as U.S. industries are harmed by lack of fair and reciprocal access to India's market, American companies and workers also are harmed by new tariffs due to the GSP termination." After the Trump administration's decision to remove trade privileges from Indian products under the GSP, U.S. and Indian trade negotiators met in July. Other than seeking the rollback of Indian tariffs imposed on agricultural products like almonds and apples, Washington has also expressed its concerns over India's tightening of regulations that have undermined major U.S. e-commerce companies like Walmart's Flipkart and Amazon.
