US Want to Reduce the Trade Deficit With India

The US wants to reduce its trade deficit with India as quickly as possible, a senior official told lawmakers here, asserting that the Trump administration is aggressively pushing New Delhi on the issues of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, dairy products and agriculture.

“The President wants fair and reciprocal trade...When we look at India, there are three sectors where, I think, we can get a significant boost in our trade,” Alice G Wells, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, told lawmakers during a Congressional hearing yesterday.
