9️⃣Why this matters to you (even if you're not in trade) - It’ll impact prices of imports and exports (yes, even your phone or that bourbon) - It’s a signal for global investors about India’s economic stability - It decides what goods flow where in a world of broken supply

3️⃣What are they negotiating on? The deal covers high-stakes sectors: 🔹Tariffs (India may lower tariffs on US bourbon, bikes, agri goods) 🔹Agriculture (US wants apples & alfalfa, India wants shrimp & textiles) 🔹Digital trade (data localization, digital rules) 🔹Pharma,

5️⃣ Wait, haven’t we tried deals before? Yes. Many times. 👉🏻In 2019, Trump revoked India’s GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) 👉🏻In 2020, a mini-deal failed due to his election loss 👉🏻In 2023, Modi visited Washington under Biden—again, no trade deal Now with Trump back in

7️⃣What’s at stake now? This isn’t just about export-import It’s about: 🔹Who controls digital infrastructure 🔹How supply chains are shaped post-China 🔹Whether India can be a strategic trade ally, not just a big market And both nations are watching closely

4️⃣Why the rush before July 8? On April 2, the US imposed an extra 26% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods—but gave a 90-day pause So right now, India is paying just the base 10% If no deal happens by July 8—Indian exporters will bleed That’s why Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal

8️⃣TL;DR: What should you expect? 👉🏻 A quick deal before July 8 to dodge the 26% tariff 👉🏻 A bigger, 19-sector deal by end of 2025 👉🏻 A full trade agreement in 2026—only if the US Congress plays ball For India, this could be a reset moment in global trade politics
