U.S. Trade Representative Greer said on Thursday that a trade deal with India would not be reached in the short term, as Washington and New Delhi are still discussing the details of the agreement. Greer stated that both sides have identified the sticking points, noting that India's continued purchase of Russian oil is one of the friction points. This comes a day after U.S. President Donald Trump spoke with Indian Prime Minister Modi, a call Greer described as "very constructive."
