India on Thursday said the joint statement with the United States remains the main guide for the proposed interim trade deal. The Ministry of External Affairs said the US amended a White House fact sheet to match the shared understanding between both sides. The earlier version mentioned tariff cuts on certain pulses and a $500 billion purchase commitment. These points were later removed. India said there was no final agreement on those issues. The revised document now says India “intends to buy” more US goods and will negotiate digital trade rules. Both countries aim to finalise the interim deal by March this year. (PC: AFP)
