The United States and India said on Tuesday that their trade negotiation representatives held "constructive" talks in New Delhi. The two countries are seeking to ease tensions after U.S. President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on India last month. After a one-day meeting, the Indian government said in a statement that the two countries agreed to "step up efforts" to reach a trade agreement. The statement said that the discussions were "positive and forward-looking, covering various aspects of the trade agreement." The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi said in another statement that U.S. Assistant Trade Representative Brendan Lynch and India's Chief Negotiator Rajesh Agrawal had a "positive meeting" discussing the future steps of the bilateral trade negotiations.
