US Raises Concerns On India’s Decision To Curb Tech Imports

Amid India’s import curb on certain electronic devices, the US is reportedly in talks to raise concerns over the strict decision, according to a media report on Monday.

It is said that both countries have agreed to mutually solve the issue by addressing the concerns.

The issue came to the fore following a discussion between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and US Trade Representative Katherine Tai on 26 August.

Furthermore, considering the stakeholders, Tai said they need an opportunity to review and suggest inputs ensuring that the policy, if implemented, does not have an adverse impact on US exports to India.

According to the report, Ambassador Tai and Minister Goyal agreed to explore the issue further, finding a solution that addresses both countries’ concerns.

The two ministers also directed their officials to continue mutual discussion to resolve the last pending trade dispute pertaining to certain poultry products at the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
