India said on Saturday it would continue engaging with the United States to conclude a bilateral trade agreement, after Washington imposed a 10% tariff on imports from the South Asian nation under new trade measures.
Background
The Trump administration on Friday unveiled fresh duties of between 10% and 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including India, alleging those countries had failed to curb imports made with forced labour.
India remains engaged with the United States and would continue discussions on sector-specific issues, including textiles, as part of negotiations on a bilateral trade pact.
The two countries have been negotiating a trade agreement since last year as they seek to deepen economic ties and resolve long-standing market access issues.
The fresh levy applies on top of standard U.S. most-favoured-nation tariffs.
