India-US trade negotiations have hit a deadlock as New Delhi refuses to compromise on key demands concerning its dairy sector. According to senior government sources, the Indian side has drawn a "red line" on dairy imports, citing the livelihoods of over 80 million people, mostly smallholder farmers, dependent on the sector. The United States has been pressing for greater market access for its dairy products, but Indian officials argue that such a move would threaten rural economies and traditional farming systems. Talks may resume later, but the impasse highlights the challenges of balancing trade liberalization with local employment concerns. (PC: India Today)
