Summary

  • Piyush Goyal said India will move on a US trade deal only if Washington can give it a competitive advantage over peer countries, underscoring that an interim pact is not yet assured.
  • London remarks from the commerce minister framed the key sticking point as whether the US can find the legal tools and policy backing to extend that edge to India.
  • “The day that happens, the deal is on,” Goyal said, signaling talks remain active but still constrained by unresolved market-access and parity concerns.
