New Delhi: According to reports, the proposed Indian-united states are likely to be delayed for the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), and an American delegation is expected to postpone his trip to New Delhi later.
The sixth round was held between 25-29 August. However, according to media reports, which is an official resource that knows the subject on the condition of anonymity, he said, “This visit is likely to be planned again.”
The visible postponement comes in the midst of increasing trade tensions between the two countries. Washington recently imposed additional trade penalties to India, including 25% task on Indian goods, which came into force on 7 August ago. India’s 25% more tariffs in response to the purchases of crude oil and defense equipment from Russia are planned to be implemented as of August 27th.
These tasks will increase the tariffs in the United States to 50%.
In parallel, the United States forced India to open politically sensitive sectors, especially agriculture and dairy products, and demands India’s rejection of India firmly by showing its impact on small farmers and cattle Rearers.

In response to US President Donald Trump’s additional 25% tariff announcement of Indian exports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi used its independence day address to championship of local production and to support farmers and traditional livelihoods.
“Modi looks like a wall against any harmful policy about the farmers, fishermen and cattle attractions of India.
Meanwhile, a change in the US tariff policy stemmed from high -level diplomatic developments.

Improved US -Russia relations can potentially affect the severity or implementation of secondary sanctions affecting India.
Trump, who commented after the summit, recently took a challenging stance against Moscow and said, “I may have to think of this within two or three weeks (sanctions), but there is no need for immediately.
