The Atlantic Council issued a policy brief outlining the need for U.S. and Indian delegations to include discussions on cross-border data flows as they restart the U.S.-India Trade Policy Forum. Atlantic Council Fellow Justin Sherman explained how the two sides have "real opportunities to identify common ground on data policy and work to maximize the mutual benefits therein." The brief laid out key focuses the U.S. and India could explore, including law enforcement's access to data, data processing and localization requirements, and data security.
