With the July 9 deadline approaching, trade negotiations have intensified. India's trade team remains in Washington to resolve differences. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed confidence that an agreement can be reached by the deadline while China confirmed details of a trade framework agreement with the U.S.
