Foreign Secretary Misri visits the US to continue trade talks

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri’s three-day visit to Washington, DC, comes at a strategically sensitive moment for India–US relations. He will meet senior US officials to review cooperation across trade, defence, science and technology, and global developments.

The recent Indo-US trade deal was finalised over a phone call between Prime Minister Modi and President Trump and announced on February 2. However, it was never formally signed. It was put on hold after a US court struck down Trump‑era tariffs, leaving both sides to reassess the path forward.

Misri’s visit coincides with a two‑week ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran, which is critical to India’s energy and security interests.

The Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar visited the US in February, signalling sustained high‑level engagement.
