Behind the scenes, India and the US are quietly trying to seal an interim trade deal, even as legal chaos in Washington threatens to stall things. Remember February’s announcement? That framework was supposed to be the start of something big. But then the US Supreme Court knocked down Trump’s tariffs; and negotiations slowed to a crawl. Still, India’sMEA says talks are alive. Why does this matter? Because this isn’t just about tariffs or trade stats; it’s about how India plans to position itself amid global trade wars, forced labor debates, and even food security tensions. And yes, Goyal’s potential US visit might be the spark that reignites momentum; or the moment things get even more complicated. Either way, watch this space. Trade deals rarely make headlines; but when they do, they change everything.
