The US trade representative said India is difficult to agree with. India does not want to open its farm markets. The US wants India to buy more American farm products. India wants to keep its own farmers safe. The talks happened in Washington for three days. The leaders from both countries met. Earlier, the US said it would lower taxes on Indian goods.
