While the G20 Trade Ministers’ Meet grabs headlines, the real action is off-stage: bilateral talks with US counterparts, CEOs, and startups in Milwaukee, Chicago, and New York. India’s goal? Secure tariff relief for its exporters and lock in a trade deal that levels the playing field against China and Vietnam. With Trump-era tariffs still looming, Goyal’s mission is clear: make India an investment magnet while protecting our manufacturers from unfair duty disadvantages. The framework’s already agreed; now it’s about timing and texture. If this deal clicks, it could redefine how Indian goods compete in the US market. And that’s not just policy; it’s economic survival for millions of SMEs and farmers back home.
