India has refused to rush into a trade agreement with the United States, hardening its stance in negotiations and insisting it will not accept a deal that fails to protect its core interests, Reuters reported on Monday.
Talks failed to produce an interim agreement during US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer's visit to New Delhi last month after Washington declined to guarantee India preferential tariff treatment over rivals such as China or rule out future US tariffs, according to Reuters.
"Our position is clear — we don't intend to rush into a deal that is not on favourable terms or compromise on red lines like ceding ground on agriculture," an Indian government official familiar with the talks told the outlet.
The impasse comes as President Donald Trump's administration prepares fresh tariffs expected later this month, raising the prospect of higher duties on Indian exports if negotiations remain stalled.
