NEW DELHI - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived on Tuesday for talks with Indian leaders in New Delhi, where he is expected to tackle a host of delicate issues from trade to India’s longstanding defense and energy ties to Russia and Iran.
Just ahead of his visit, New Delhi imposed tariffs on some U.S. goods after President Donald Trump’s administration threw India out of a group of countries that were allowed duty free access for some of their products into the large U.S. market. India hopes that this week’s high-level meetings will help re-start talks over a trade package the two had been negotiating for months, the official said.
A second Indian official said India believed it had a case for a waiver from U.S. sanctions should it go ahead with the missile system purchase from Russia.
