India’s trade team will visit Washington from April 20 for fresh talks as the US prepares new tariff rules. The team will be led by chief negotiator Darpan Jain. Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agarwal said both sides will discuss ongoing investigations and next steps. “We are looking at finalising the legal agreement,” he said. The talks come after US Section 301 probes into several countries, including India. The US has raised concerns over India’s trade surplus and excess capacity in sectors like steel and solar. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had earlier said talks would resume after clarity on US tariffs. (PC: X)
