US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will meet Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu on May 6 here to discuss trade-related issues amid America’s decision to withdraw export benefits to Indian exporters, sources said.
“Ross is coming to participate in the Trade Winds Indo-Pacific Forum and Mission and would hold bilateral meeting with Prabhu,” one of the sources said.
Issues such as withdrawal of GSP benefits by Washington are expected to come up for the discussion.
Currently, the India-US trade relations are going through a rough patch as the US has decided to withdraw export benefits to Indian exporters under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programme, which is expected to impact India’s exports to the US worth $billion under this scheme.
