A trade agreement between Washington and New Delhi is not imminent, U.S. Trade Representative Greer said on Oct. 2. Greer characterized the status of the negotiations as "not close," following a phone conversation between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump.

The two countries continue to work toward a trade deal despite the lack of immediate progress. Greer's comments signal that while discussions remain active, a final resolution has not yet been reached.
