Trade Negotiations and Tariffs

Current trade negotiations between the U.S. and multiple countries are expected to produce interim agreements, rather than fully-fledged trade deals. Key trading partners like India, South Korea, and Japan are likely to be at the forefront of these discussions, aiming to reduce various tariffs and barriers with the U.S. However, the major obstacle remains China, where formal discussions are stalled.
