India and US seek breakthrough in day-long trade talks

The leaders of India and the United States have held day-long trade talks in a bid to resolve ongoing tensions. The meeting follows weeks of strain between the two allies, with the US imposing high tariffs on Indian goods. The talks aimed to find a breakthrough in the trade dispute, which has seen both countries impose retaliatory tariffs on each other's products. India has sought exemption from the tariffs, while the US has demanded greater access to the Indian market for its agricultural and manufacturing goods. The discussions involved senior officials from both governments and covered a range of trade-related issues. Both sides expressed a desire to find a mutually beneficial solution and avoid an escalation of the trade war. The outcome of the talks will be closely watched, as a successful resolution could pave the way for strengthening the strategic partnership between India and the United States.
