India-US trade talks lose momentum as leaders cool off

Negotiations on a prospective trade pact between India and the United States have entered a quieter phase, with senior officials from both capitals making fewer public statements about progress. The initial optimism that marked early discussions appears to have softened, and the timeline for any formal agreement remains uncertain.
Analysts note that the reduced visibility of the talks coincides with shifting policy priorities in both countries, though no official reasons have been disclosed. Diplomatic channels continue to engage, but the pace of dialogue has visibly decelerated compared with earlier months.
The slowdown adds a layer of ambiguity to bilateral economic relations, as businesses on both sides await clearer signals before committing to long‑term investments tied to the prospective deal.
