US commerce secretary attacks India over corn imports amid ethanol push and trade talks
The latest flashpoint in India-US trade relations has surprisingly centered on corn. US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick recently targeted India over its unwillingness to import American maize, questioning why a nation of 1.4 billion people does not buy even a single bushel of US corn while continuing to export heavily to the United States. His comments came against the backdrop of resumed trade negotiations and reflect Washington’s growing desperation to find buyers for surplus grain.
