Trade talks between India and the US have been advancing, with discussions on a potential free trade agreement (FTA) also involving other countries such as Chile, Canada, and Israel. Additionally, the first tranche of a US-India trade deal is expected by mid-July, according to India's trade minister. However, the US has also unveiled new tariffs on 60 economies, including India, amid a 'forced labour' probe, although India's rate has been lowered.
The business community has seen notable developments, with Indian-origin entrepreneurs creating a record number of unicorns in the US, despite an immigration backlash. Indian companies such as Cipla have also been in the news, with the company posting a profit decline and naming a new CFO.
