India-US trade talks stalled as both sides cool on deal prospects

Trade negotiations between India and the United States are facing significant delays, with both nations appearing less enthusiastic about advancing a comprehensive trade deal. An interim trade agreement and a broader Bilateral Trade Agreement have both been pushed back, raising questions about the pace of talks.

Recent statements from officials on both sides suggest momentum has slowed considerably. The reasons for the cooling-off period remain unclear, though negotiators from both countries continue to work on narrowing differences. The stalled talks mark a departure from earlier expectations of faster progress on trade liberalization between the two nations.
