Opposition party Congress has raised questions regarding the trade deal signed between India and America on Monday. It was asked from the opposition that if this was such a big diplomatic victory, then why was it not announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi? After all, why did US President Donald Trump reveal this on social media Truth Social? He asked whether India kept silence under pressure from America? Now Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal answered these questions of the opposition in the press conference organized.
Congress had sieged the government on this issue
Earlier, Congress had tried to corner the government on this issue. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh and other opposition leaders had asked that when such a big decision was taken for the country, why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi not address the nation?
The opposition alleges that Trump has written in his post that India will reduce duty on American goods to zero. This is a kind of surrender. While Trump is celebrating his victory, the Indian government is silently accepting his conditions. Therefore the announcement has come from Washington.
Piyush Goyal gave this answer in the press conference
On this, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that America had imposed tariff. This decision was also his. They will reduce it. When he reduced the tariff, it is natural that he had to give this information to the world.
He said that the problem started from America’s side. Now that the solution has been found, Trump, as the party giving relief, had to say that he has changed his terms.
Apart from this, the Union Minister has denied the allegations of surrender of Congress. He explained that in diplomacy it is not always necessary to make noise. Trump had imposed tariffs on India in the middle of 2025. It was 50%. Then there was a stir in the whole world. It was being called tariff war. At that time, PM Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs had exercised restraint. There was no retaliatory action or sharp statements. The result of this is that the tariff has been reduced from 50% to 18%.
