As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.

The United States and India have become increasingly interconnected with expanding political, social, and economic ties. However, while commerce and trade have grown between the two nations, the past few years have seen significantly strained trade engagement, including but not limited to an unsuccessful mini trade deal and disputes over data governance regulations. 

As a developing and growing economy, India is faced with challenging but important trade decisions, moving forward amid China’s growing presence in the region, increasing globalization, and India’s domestic political context. Whether the US- India trade relationship dwindles or the two nations are able to look past their differences and establish a mutually beneficial trade relationship is a question that remains to be answered. 

Please join the Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center on Thursday, July 29 at 8:30 AM EST / 6:00 PM IST for a conversation on US-India trade and a path forward. The conversation aims to explore what the two countries can do to support, nourish, and grow their bilateral trade relationship, while setting the stage for successful future negotiations.
