India and the United States began a new round of trade talks in Washington on Monday. The three-day meeting aims to complete the first phase of a proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement. A 12-member Indian team led by chief negotiator Darpan Jain is holding talks with US officials. The discussions come after changes in the US tariff system. Washington introduced a temporary 10% tariff on imports from all countries. Indian officials said the deal may be “recalibrated and redrafted” so India is not placed at a disadvantage. India is also expected to raise concerns over two US trade probes under Section 301. (PC: HT)
