Piyush Goyal addresses U.S. concerns on labor and production capacity

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal defended India at the G20 meeting against U.S. investigations regarding structural excess capacity and forced labor.

Goyal stated that India lacks structural excess capacity in U.S.-identified sectors and noted that India has already prohibited importing goods made with forced labor.

He argued that trade measures must be evidence-based and WTO-compliant, warning against unilateral actions that could penalize developing nations.
