U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Tuesday said several large trade agreements were still waiting to be completed, including with Switzerland and India, but the Southeast Asian country had been "a bit recalcitrant" in talks with the United States.

India hopes trade talks with the U.S. will continue even as the U.S. hiked tariffs on its exports to 50% due to New Delhi's purchase of sanctioned Russian oil, two lawmakers said on Monday, citing a briefing to a parliamentary panel on foreign affairs.

India has been a "bit recalcitrant" on trade negotiations with the US, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has said.

South Africa will submit a revised trade-framework deal to the US as it seeks to reduce a 30% tariff imposed by President Donald Trump.

The government of Africa's biggest economy has tried for months to negotiate a U.S. trade deal but failed to reach agreement before Trump's deadline.

South Africa has presented a revised trade offer to the US, aiming to address recent tariff impositions and strengthen bilateral relations, with a focus on agricultural exports and market diversification.
