MUMBAI – The US has revised its factsheet on the India-US trade deal overnight, removing the reference to "certain pulses," changing the wording related to India's purchase of $500 billion worth of goods from the US, and omitting the mention of "agriculture" in the same key term of the agreement. On Saturday, India and the US released a joint statement on the recently concluded trade deal, after which the US released a factsheet on Tuesday, announcing the "historic trade deal" with India.

 

In the previous version of the factsheet, the US had mentioned, "India will eliminate or reduce tariffs on all US industrial goods and a wide range of US food and agricultural products, including dried distillers' grains, red sorghum, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruit, certain pluses, soybean oil, wine and spirits and additional products."

 

However, the updated factsheet no longer carries any mention of pulses. Instead, it reads, "India will eliminate or reduce tariffs on all US industrial goods and a wide range of US food and agricultural products, including dried distillers' grains, red sorghum, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruit, soybean oil, wine and spirits, and additional products."

 

The wording related to India's proposed purchase of goods from the US has also been modified in the latest version. The earlier text had stated that India was "committed" to making a purchase of $500 billion from Washington. The updated version has replaced "committed" with "intends"" In the same key term, the revised version omits the mention of "agriculture" in the list of products India will purchase from the US.

 

The previous factsheet said, "India committed to buy more American products and purchase over $500 billion of US energy, information and communication technology, agriculture, coal, and other products." The revised version now says, "India intends to buy more American products and purchase over $500 billion of US energy, information and communication technology, coal, and other products."  End
