An analysis suggests President Donald Trump, facing unfavorable midterm results, may use executive powers to expedite a trade agreement with India, seeking market access for US goods.
Following an unfavorable outcome in the midterm elections, President Donald Trump is anticipated to intensify efforts towards securing an early trade agreement with India. An analysis by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) indicates that the election results are unlikely to alter his approach to trade negotiations.
Instead, the GTRI analysis suggests that Trump may leverage his executive authority to push for a swift resolution. The objective appears to be gaining concessions from India, particularly concerning market access for American agricultural and industrial products. The push is also expected to secure other significant benefits for US businesses operating in or looking to enter the Indian market.
