Atul Keshap, president of the United States India Business Council (USIBC), has pointed out that agriculture issues are always the most sensitive issues in any trade negotiation, and the India-US interim trade deal which is expected to be announced anytime now will have to navigate this aspect of the deal, "no matter what it may look like". The USIBC is dedicated to the growth of commercial ties between the world's two largest democracies. Mr Keshap told NDTV that USIBC and all member companies are cheering, as is the US Chamber of Commerce, over the interim trade deal.
