The three-day India-US trade talks, set to start Monday in Washington DC to finalise the legal text of the agreement struck earlier this month, have been rescheduled. This comes after the US Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump overstepped his powers by imposing sweeping tariffs under International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), The Indian Express has learnt. India and the US had agreed to a framework but were yet to officially sign the deal. The talks assumed significance as the agreement, like all Trump deals in this regard, was unconventional in nature and could fall out of the ambit of traditional World Trade Organisation (WTO) norms. Government officials had said that market access from the Indian side would only be possible after the legal agreement is signed.
