Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday dismissed a Reuters report claiming that India had rejected a fast-track trade agreement with the United States in pursuit of more favourable terms, calling the report “completely false, baseless and misleading.”
Responding to the report on social media, Goyal said he had held “fantastic meetings” with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer during the latter’s visit to New Delhi in June. He added that both countries had reaffirmed their commitment to concluding a trade pact that is “balanced, commercially meaningful, and delivers mutual benefit” for India and the US.
