US Commerce Secretary Urges India to Open Markets and Avoid Actions Harmful to the US

United States Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that India needs to "react correctly" to the US, advocating for market liberalization and the avoidance of actions that could negatively impact the United States. He expressed the view that several countries, including Switzerland and Brazil, also need to address certain issues. Lutnick indicated that resolving these issues will require time, and countries, particularly India, must understand that access to the US market necessitates cooperation with the President. He made these remarks during an interview with News Nation. A high-level Indian delegation, led by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, recently visited the US to discuss bilateral trade and investment ties. The Ministry reported productive discussions with key US officials, including Ambassador Jamieson Greer and US Ambassador-designate to India, Sergio Gor. Both sides agreed to continue efforts to expedite a trade agreement that benefits both nations.
