America had recently made some changes in the trade deal fact sheet, regarding which now a reaction has come from India. The Indian Foreign Ministry has said that the changes made by America in the trade deal are in accordance with the common understanding between the two countries. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that this is a sign of the trade deal moving in a positive direction.
Some important changes have been made in the fact sheet issued by the White House. India can get great relief from these changes made by the Trump administration. The biggest thing in this fact sheet is that earlier America had committed India to buy more than 500 billion dollars of American products, but in the revised fact sheet released later, it has been shown as an intention or plan to buy.
What information has the Foreign Ministry given?
He said, ‘We have agreed on a joint statement with an interim agreement on mutually beneficial trade. Joint statement is a framework. In this matter our common understanding has been made the basis. The changes in the US fact sheet reflect the common understanding between the two countries.
A joint statement was issued regarding the trade deal between the two countries. After this, on February 9, America released a fact sheet. In this, more information related to the historic deal signed between the two countries on February 9 has been added. However, on February 10, this sheet was changed by America.
In the new fact sheet, India has removed US agricultural goods from the list. This includes some pulses, on which it was agreed to reduce or eliminate the tariff.
What did the White House say about the new changes in the deal?
The White House has said that India has agreed to eliminate or reduce its tariffs on all US industrial goods and many US food products and agricultural products. These include processed fruits, some pulses, soybean oil, wine and spirits and other products.
India’s commitment to invest Rs 500 billion in America’s energy goods, aircraft, precious metals and other things has also been edited out of the changed factsheet. It is written in it that India intends to buy more American goods.
In fact, after several months of talks between the two countries, it has been announced that they have reached a trade agreement. This deal was emphasized by US Ambassador Sergio Gore. A few days later, the US President confirmed this through his social media. A joint statement was issued by both the countries on 7 February. This was described as an interim framework.
