US and India to address trade at G7 but deal not imminent, US officials say

US officials said the US and India will discuss trade issues at the G7, but an immediate comprehensive deal is unlikely. The talks are expected to cover tariffs and market access as both sides explore areas of cooperation, though near-term compromise appears difficult. The meeting is framed as a forum to deepen strategic partnership while reconciling economic interests.

US-India trade talks at the G7 are geopolitically and economically notable, but with no imminent deal expected they are unlikely to cause immediate major market disruption. However, ongoing trade tensions could still affect investor sentiment over the longer term.
