US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday described India as a “tough nut to crack,” adding that the quality of offers India has presented in talks with the US is the best his country has ever received.
His remarks came during discussions on expanding US exports, particularly in agriculture. Greer noted that a US team is currently in New Delhi negotiating key market-access issues.
He acknowledged a shift in India’s approach: “They’ve been surprisingly proactive. The proposals we’re hearing are stronger than anything we’ve previously seen,” he said.
Greer also emphasized the continued importance of trade with China, stating, “There’s mutual need, they rely on our products, and we want continued access to their market.”
Meanwhile, US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Allison Hooker met Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri to advance the strategic and economic agenda outlined by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their February meeting. Hooker, on a five-day visit to India, said the discussions focused on turning that shared vision into practical steps that strengthen US security, economic competitiveness, and support India’s long-term priorities.
