India Seeks 301 Probe Shield in US Trade Deal as Talks Wait on 2 Investigations

Summary
India wants US assurances that it will not face future Section 301 investigations once the two countries sign a trade agreement, an Indian official said in New Delhi.
2 ongoing Section 301 probes are already shaping the talks: the deal will be finalized only after the US completes investigations into goods allegedly made with forced labor and into excess capacity.
The demand underscores India's effort to lock in greater certainty before closing the pact, with the unresolved US trade-law reviews now a key condition for timing the agreement.
