India–US trade negotiations remain deadlocked over agriculture and dairy access, with India refusing to yield on protecting its farmers. The fifth round of talks (July 14–17 in Washington), led by Rajesh Agrawal, wrapped up without resolution but both sides hope to forge an interim pact before Aug 1, when Trump‑era reciprocal tariffs (26 %) snap back. Washington is pushing for concessions in GM crops, dairy, autos, and industrial goods; New Delhi demands relief on textiles, gems, leather, agriculture and more. A step‑by‑step deal may emerge, with a fuller BTA likely by September–October. (PC: Instagram)
