The United States has revised its fact sheet on the recently announced “historic trade deal” with India, removing a reference to pulses and changed the text relating to the $500 billion purchase “commitment.“ In the earlier version of the document, Washington had said, “India will scrap or cut duties on American industrial products and on a wide basket of agricultural and food exports. Among the items listed are dried distillers’ grains, red sorghum, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruit, selected pulses, soybean oil, wine and spirits, along with other goods.” The updated fact sheet no longer carries any mention of pulses. In another change, the fact releated to India’s proposed procurement of goods from the United States has also been modified. The earlier text had stated that India was “committed” to make a purchase of $500 billion from the country, now it has been changed to “intend.” It said, “India committed to buy more American products and purchase over $500 billion of US energy, information and communication technology, agricultural, coal, and other products. ” However, the revised version now reads, “India intends to buy more American products and purchase over $500 billion of US energy, information and communication technology, coal, and other products. ”The two nations announced reaching an interim trade agreement last week, after almost a year of negotiations that began February 2025.
