BREAKING: Piyush Goyal Sets the Record Straight Over India-USA Trade deal Piyush Goyal has said that any India–US trade deal has NOT been signed yet. He said it will be inked soon. What Piyush Goyal Has Officially Said: 🔹No signed agreement: There is no confirmation of a final, inked trade deal. 🔹No joint statement: No framework text or official document has been released. He assured that it will be inked soon 🔹Core interests protected: India’s priorities, farmers, MSMEs, dairy, and agriculture, remain non-negotiable. 🔹Tariff movement acknowledged: A reduction to around 18% on certain Indian goods has been discussed, but this alone does not equal a deal. What’s Missing, and Why It Matters While Donald Trump has hinted at breakthroughs, India’s commerce minister has deliberately avoided words like “signed,” “finalised,” or “inked.” There is no confirmation on sensitive issues such as energy commitments or curbs on Russian oil purchases. This is political signalling, not a concluded treaty. Momentum exists. Signatures do not. Until a joint statement is issued and a formal framework is placed on record, claims of a completed India–US trade deal remain premature. India is negotiating, from a position of interest, not impulse.
