President Donald Trump is to visit India this week, February 24-25, with some expectations that he could sign a trade deal during the trip.
The expectation had been that U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer was to visit India ahead of Trump’s arrival to hold trade discussions. The two sides have held discussions over the last several weeks via teleconference.
But it now appears Lighthizer’s visit may not take place. The Press Trust of India reported that an unnamed official said, "Lighthizer was supposed to hold discussions with [a] commerce ministry team but as of now, he is not coming."
The official said there was no indication yet that a trade deal will be signed by Trump during his visit.
Welcome
