India Urged to Prioritize National Interests in US Trade Deal
IN · Published Aug 19, 2026
Sanjeev Sanyal, a member of the Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM), has emphasized the need for India to carefully evaluate its trade agreement with the United States.
Speaking to ANI, Sanyal highlighted that while substantial progress has been made, the long-term nature of such agreements necessitates thorough scrutiny to protect India's national interests.

Impact & Risks

The trade agreement with the US could significantly impact India's economy, particularly in sensitive sectors like agriculture and dairy. Rushing into the deal without addressing these concerns could lead to domestic unrest and economic challenges. On the other hand, a well-negotiated agreement could strengthen bilateral ties and provide economic benefits.
