Difference between FTA and bilateral deal

What does the India-US joint statement on trade actually say, and what does it leave unsaid? In this episode of ThePrint Worldview, Consulting Editor (International & Strategic Affairs) Dr Swasti Rao speaks with Ambassador Mohan Kumar, India’s ex–lead negotiator at the WTO and GATT, to decode the fineprint of India-US trade understanding. From India’s purchases of Russian oil and the much-talked-about $500-billion trade target, to questions around agriculture market access, this conversation cuts through political noise and headline hype to explain the real implications for India-US economic ties.
