U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer is set to visit India after the G7 summit, with prospects of a potential U.S.-India trade deal. Discussions during the summit between U.S. President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi are expected to touch on trade issues, though a final agreement isn't anticipated immediately.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will head to India following the G7 summit, with a potential U.S.-India trade agreement on the horizon, according to a senior U.S. official.

Trade discussions will feature prominently during President Trump's meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in France. While the summit won't finalize a trade deal, a fruitful dialogue is expected.

The recent easing of tensions over U.S. tariffs suggests an improved atmosphere for negotiations. India's trade minister is optimistic about a first tranche of a trade agreement by mid-July, highlighting India's drive for preferential tariffs.
