The trade talks between India and the US have hit a roadblock as both countries grapple with disagreements over tariffs, particularly in sectors like steel and aluminum. With President Trump's reevaluated trade policies and Congress's involvement, the negotiations have become more challenging. The discussions also involve complexities like 'masala deals' and the Gas Turbine Research Initiative (GTRI), adding layers of intricacy to the situation. Both sides are striving to find common ground to advance the trade deal, but obstacles persist.
