NCP (SP) chief and former Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Wednesday (04 February) said that the new US tariff policy includes provisions allowing export of agricultural products to India, which is a matter of concern for Indian farmers. Talking to reporters in Baramati, Sharad Pawar said that a clear picture of the recent trade agreement between India and America will emerge in the next two days.
Rajya Sabha member Pawar said that we can say something only after the picture becomes clear. However, there is a provision in the India-US tariff agreement announced by the US that allows agricultural exports to India, which is a matter of concern for Indian farmers and the domestic agriculture sector.
Agricultural export can cause loss to local producers- Pawar
He said, “America is a powerful economy and large-scale agricultural exports from there can harm local producers in other countries. I hope that the Indian agricultural sector will be protected.” Meanwhile, Caroline Levitt, press secretary of the White House, the official residence and office of the US President, said in a conversation with reporters, “The President (Donald Trump) has signed another major trade agreement with India. He spoke directly to Prime Minister Modi.
Good relations between India and America- Caroline Levitt
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt further said, “There are very good relations between the two countries. India is not only committed to stop buying oil from Russia but is also committed to stop buying oil from America. Possibly even from Venezuela, from which we know that America and the American people will now directly benefit.
He said that apart from this, Prime Minister Modi has committed to invest 500 billion dollars in America, which also includes transportation, energy and agricultural products. So this is another great trade deal thanks to President Donald Trump.
