The United States and India are nearing a trade deal, but it’s not finalized yet, a top US trade official said on Wednesday, amid mounting speculation about imminent international trade agreements.

Jamieson Greer, a senior official with the Office of the US Trade Representative, said during an interview with Fox News, “I wouldn’t say finish line—but close,” when asked how far along negotiations with India had come.

Greer noted that he maintains regular contact with India’s Trade Minister and recently sent a delegation to New Delhi. Indian negotiators were also in Washington the previous week, engaging in ongoing talks.

He also referenced the visit of US Vice President J.D. Vance to India, during which both countries announced a framework for trade negotiations.

Greer, who served as Chief of Staff to former US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer during Donald Trump’s first term, recalled earlier efforts to conclude a trade deal with India. A nearly complete deal was expected during President Trump’s visit to India in February 2020 but ultimately fell through, with Indian officials alleging the US “kept changing the goalpost.”

In contrast, Greer expressed more optimism about a trade deal with South Korea, describing their approach as “very forward leaning” and saying the US is prioritizing the most ambitious proposals currently on the table.

As the US seeks to finalize multiple trade deals before President Trump’s 90-day tariff pause concludes, all eyes remain on whether a breakthrough with India can be achieved.
