A U.S. trade delegation’s planned visit to New Delhi from August 25–29, 2025, for the sixth round of Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) negotiations, has been postponed with no new dates set . The deferment coincides with Washington’s imposition of hefty tariffs on Indian exports—initially 25%, followed by an additional 25% penalty for importing Russian oil, raising total duties to 50% . These escalating economic tensions, alongside unresolved demands for increased agricultural and dairy market access, have significantly stalled progress in talks. (PC: Reuters)
