Under the Interim Agreement, India will eliminate or reduce tariffs on all U.S. industrial goods and a wide array of U.S. food and agricultural products, including dried distillers’ grains (DDGs), red sorghum for animal feed, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruit, soybean oil, wine and spirits, and additional products.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): USTR records show India wine-and-spirits tariff reductions were already in an interim trade framework before the October letter; useful context but not proof Gallagher caused the result.

The verified commitment is an action promise to push USTR, not a promise that USTR would complete market-opening outcomes. Verified evidence shows Gallagher urged USTR to prioritize India and Vietnam and work to restore Canadian access, directly fulfilling the promised action. Clerk evidence confirms he was in House office before the October 8, 2026 action, supporting same-term timing. No verified evidence proves completed market-access expansion, but that is not required for this action-form commitment.
