US report criticises India’s trade policies

The Trump administration published a study on Tuesday that criticized India's trade policies, emphasizing both tariff and non-tariff impediments that American exporters face in the Indian market, one day before a retaliatory tariff announcement was anticipated on April 2.

The report, according to Indian officials, was part of a "annual routine exercise" and seemed to touch on some issues that had already been resolved. It also highlighted a number of other topics that are being discussed between the two nations in preparation for a bilateral trade agreement that they hope to sign by the fall of this year.
