countries and an important market for American agriculture exports, barriers to trade still pose obstacles to American

exporters. According to the Commerce Department, U.S. goods and services exports to India supported approximately 197

thousand jobs in 2015 (the latest data available) (82 thousand supported by goods exports, 116 thousand supported by services

exports).
