Amid the global trade instability and concerning geopolitical situations, a report by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) suggests that India must stay firm and avoid trading away its core sectors, especially agriculture. GTRI also suggests that India should refrain from trade deals despite increasing pressure from the United States under President Donald Trump's administration.

The report by GTRI also warns India that entering into a trade agreement under duress could lead to "irreversible consequences", particularly when such deals may not survive a change in the US political landscape, as per news agency ANI.

The GTRI report also says, "India should stay the course and avoid trading away core sectors like agriculture. A hasty deal under pressure could have irreversible consequences, especially when such agreements may not survive the next shift in US politics."
