India does not enter trade deals based on deadlines: Piyush Goyal on negotiations with US
India does not enter into trade deals based on deadlines, Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday amid ongoing negotiations between India and the United States, PTI reported. 'We only agree to a trade deal when it is done properly, is completely finalised and is in the national interest,' he said while addressing reporters on the sidelines of an event in New Delhi. The minister added that India was also in talks for trade agreements with several other countries, including the European Union, New Zealand, Oman, Chile and Peru, CNBC-TV18 reported. 'Free trade agreements are only possible when both sides benefit,' Goyal said. 'It should be a win-win agreement. If a good deal can be finalised while securing Indian interests, India is always willing to enter into deals with developed countries.' As India's trade delegation returns from the US, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal emphasised, "India never negotiates trade deals with a deadline." Despite continued discussions, key differences persist, particularly over agriculture & dairy access, though both sides remain hopeful… — CNBC-TV18 (@CNBCTV18News) July 4, 2025 His remarks came as India and the US were negotiating a trade deal amid the 90-day suspension of tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump that is set to end on July 9. On June 30, the White House had said that the deal was close to being finalised and would be announced soon. Commenting on Goyal's statement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi remarked: 'Piyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline.' Piyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline. — Rahul Gandhi (@RahulGandhi) July 5, 2025 Trump's so-called reciprocal tariffs imposed on several countries, including a 26% 'discounted' levy on India, took effect on April 9. Hours later, however, Trump had reduced the rates on imports from most countries to 10% for 90 days to provide time for trade negotiations. The US president has repeatedly said that he intended to impose a reciprocal tax on India, among others, citing high tariffs the countries impose on foreign goods. The tariffs had led to concerns of a broader trade war that could disrupt the global economy and trigger recession. New Delhi on Friday proposed to impose retaliatory tariffs against the US under the norms of the World Trade Organization over Washington's so-called safeguard duties on automobile imports from India. India notified the international organisation's Council for Trade in Goods of its proposed suspension of concessions and other obligations under WTO provisions. This came after Washington on March 26 had decided to levy a 25% tariff, in proportion to the estimated value of the goods, on imports of passenger vehicles, light trucks and select automobile parts from India. The duties were to take effect on May 3, The Indian Express reported.

The Prime Minister is set to meet President Javier Milei for key bilateral talks focusing on defence, agriculture, energy, mining, technology, and trade. India and Argentina are expected to deepen cooperation across critical minerals, renewable energy, and space tech, while expanding people-to-people and diaspora ties. This visit comes ahead of PM Modi's attendance at the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil, showcasing India's assertive foreign diplomacy in the Global South.#pmmodi #narendramodi #modiinargentina #modidiasporawelcome #modiinlatinamerica #bricssummit2025 #bharatmatakijai #modi5nationtour #indialatinamerica #modimileitalks #jaiShreeRam #indiancommunityabroad #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews Read More

GTRI warns against US GM farm imports, cites risk to India's agri exports
Economic think tank GTRI on Saturday cautioned that allowing genetically modified (GM) farm products from the US under the proposed trade pact would have implications for India as it may affect the country's agri exports to regions like the European Union. India and the US are negotiating an interim trade pact, which is expected to be announced before July 9. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that allowing the import of GM products such as soybean meal and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for animal feed would affect India's agricultural exports to the European Union (EU), a key destination for Indian exporters. DDGS is a by-product made during ethanol production, usually from corn or other grains. The EU has strict GM labelling rules and strong consumer resistance to GM-linked products. Even though GM feed is permitted, many European buyers prefer fully GM-free supply chains. India's fragmented agri-logistics and lack of segregation infrastructure make cross-contamination likely, risking trace GM presence in export consignments, GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said. "This could lead to shipment rejections, higher testing costs, and erosion of India's GMO-free image, especially in sensitive sectors like rice, tea, honey, spices, and organic foods. Without robust traceability and labeling systems, GM feed imports could hurt India's export competitiveness in the EU," he said. Genetically modified crops are created by inserting specific genes, often from bacteria, viruses, other plants, or occasionally animals, into a plant's DNA to introduce new traits, such as pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. For instance, the BT gene from the bacterium Bacillus Thuringiensis enables the plant to produce a protein toxic to certain pests. Other genes, including those from soil bacteria, have been used to make crops resistant to herbicides, he said. He added that while GM crops are biologically plant-based and function as vegetarian food, the fact that some contain genes of animal origin means they may not be acceptable to communities or individuals that adhere strictly to religious or ethical definitions of vegetarianism. Srivastava further said research suggests that GM DNA is broken down during digestion and does not enter the animal's meat, milk, or produce. "Therefore, foods like milk or chicken are not classified as GM, even if the animals were fed GM feed. However, critics argue that this blurs the line for consumers who wish to avoid GM-associated products entirely," he said. On whether seeds harvested from genetically modified crops be reused for future sowing, he said GM seeds are generally not reusable due to legal and biological reasons. "They are patented and sold under contracts that prohibit saving and replanting. Even if reused, many GM crops are hybrids, and their saved seeds often perform poorly. In India, Bt cotton is the only approved GM crop, and while farmers have tried reusing its seeds, results are substandard," he said. Further, he said the risk of contamination remains a concern worldwide. Srivastava said that GM and non-GM crops can intermingle at various points in the supply chain, especially during transport, storage, or processing. He added that in India, the current policy is relatively conservative and only one GM crop - Bt cotton - is approved for cultivation. "No GM food crop is commercially cultivated, although experimental trials are ongoing. Import of GM soybean oil and canola oil are permitted," the GTRI said adding imports of GM grains, pulses, oilseeds, fruits, and similar food/feed products are not allowed. GM feed materials such as soybean meal and DDGS are currently banned.
