New Delhi: India and the US have resolved the broad contours of the proposed trade package and may announce it after closing the pending gaps, trade minister Piyush Goyal said on Monday. “Therefore, probably, the finalization of the trade package got a little delayed. US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross earlier this month said there was “no structural reason" why there can’t be a trade deal with India quickly. India’s trade minister said ambassador Lighthizer is holding his hands and helping him understand the intricacies of the complex, complicated trade negotiations. Goyal said every trade negotiator has to protect his country’s interest, and Lighthizer is doing a fabulous job for his country.
