India-US Trade Deal: Doors Closed for American Agriculture, Dairy Products

• India has kept its borders closed for sensitive sectors like agriculture and dairy in the India-US trade deal.
• American products like milk, wheat, maize, soybeans, cheese, and various fruits and vegetables will not enter the Indian market.
• Indian sectors such as textiles, leather, footwear, handicrafts, plastics, rubber, and home decor will benefit from reduced US tariffs.
• The deal reduces the total 50% tariff on Indian goods to 18%, expected to create millions of jobs.
• A large market worth 300 billion US dollars will open for Indian MSMEs, farmers, and fishermen, with strong protection for dairy farmers.
