It's Time for India to Return to Trade Negotiating Table w/U.S.

With all eyes on the tariff standoff between the Trump Administration and China, the decision by the Administration to revoke India's General System of Preferences (GSP) status has raised the stakes on the trade ties between the two countries. Despite the growing U.S.-India national security cooperation in recent years, U.S.-India trade and economic issues remain a major challenge holding back bilateral ties. India has clearly gotten President Trump's attention for its continued trade barriers against American companies. Such attention carries significant risk for India, for newly re-elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and for a healthy U.S.-India relationship.
