White House Revises Its fact Sheet on India-US Trade Deal
The language regarding India’s purchase of American goods was also clarified; it now states that India “intends to buy” more US products, matching the official joint statement, rather than making a binding commitment. Similarly, the reference to digital services taxes was adjusted from implying India “will remove” them to stating India is “committed to negotiate” digital trade rules.
These revisions came after President Trump had previously claimed India agreed to purchase over $500 billion in US products, including energy, technology, and agriculture, a figure considered unlikely by experts. Additionally, the deal reduces India’s tariff burden to 18 percent from the previous 50 percent, giving Indian exports the second-lowest US tariff rate in Asia after Japan.
