Donald Trump Tariff: Has India really promised America to cut tariffs? Is what Donald Trump said is true? Now the Government of India's reply has come on this. India opted out of Donald Trump's tariff claim and said that no agreement has been reached yet. The government told the Parliamentary Committee that no promise has been made to the US on the tariff issue. Also, the government has sought time till September to resolve this issue.
Donald Trump is repeatedly raising the issue of tariff. He had claimed that India had committed to reduce tariffs significantly. Donald Trump had said that India has agreed to the tariff cut. However, now the government has exposed its poll. India's Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal said that no one should rely on Trump's claims and media reports, as the negotiations between the two countries are still going on.
Answer came before the parliamentary committee
According to TOI news, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal, appearing before the Parliamentary Standing Committee of Foreign Affairs, said that India and the US are working towards mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement. In this, instead of demanding immediate tariff adjustment, focus is being focused on long -term trade cooperation.
What else did the government say
He also tried to solve concerns over tariff action against India. He argued that New Delhi is negotiating a trade agreement with Washington, which is completely opposite to China, Canada and Mexico. Trump has announced tariff action against these countries, some of which have already been implemented.
Who fired questions
According to sources, some opposition MPs like Asaduddin Owaisi of AIMIM, Deepender Hooda of Congress and Sagarika Ghosh of TMC questioned the Commerce Secretary on the mutual tariff. Donald Trump has threatened to impose it on high -tariff countries since April 2. Barthwal suggested in response that India could avoid mutual tariffs at the moment.
