Commerce minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday said India has got a very good trade deal with the US, better than competitors, without compromising interest of the agriculture and dairy sectors. Without giving details of what has been agreed with Washington, Goyal said the trade deal is in the final stages, and an Indo-US joint statement will be issued shortly detailing the contours of the agreement. According to the minister, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has concluded the long-awaited trade deal with the US, and the entire nation is congratulating him. Goyal asserted that India secured a favourable agreement because of the personal relationship between the prime minister and US President Donald Trump. He said the India-US trade deal will open huge opportunities for the poor, fishermen, farmers and youth of the country, adding that it is a good omen for India’s bright future.
