‘Completely false’: Piyush Goyal slams report that says ‘India rejected quick trade deal with US’
Union minister Piyush Goyal called a Reuters report claiming India rejected a quick trade deal with the US 'completely false, baseless and misleading'.
Goyal said he held 'fantastic meetings' with USTR Jamieson Greer during Greer's June visit to Delhi.
Both sides reaffirmed commitment to a 'balanced, commercially meaningful' deal benefiting businesses, farmers, workers, and consumers in both countries.
The Reuters report cited an unnamed Indian official saying no consensus was reached because the US did not assure India's key demands.
Commerce secretary Rajesh Agarwal earlier said there were no challenges in the India-US trade negotiations.
