America is close to clinching several trade deals ahead of a July 9 deadline when higher tariffs were due to kick in, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.

Here’s what to know about various countries’ deals and negotiations with the U.S., as we approach the deadline for higher tariffs.

Union Minister Piyush Goyal recently stated that India is prepared to engage in trade agreements with the US if it aligns with national interests. However, he emphasised that such deals would not be rushed due to external deadlines. India's stance remains firm on protecting its agricultural sector from foreign competition.
