New Delhi, Jul 5: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Indo-US trade deal, after Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal claimed that India would not enter into an agreement under deadlines.
\nGoyal had on Friday claimed that India would accept the proposed trade deal with the US only when it is fully finalised, and in the national interest.
\n\u201cPiyush Goyal can beat his chest all he wants, mark my words, Modi will meekly bow to the Trump tariff deadline,\u201d Gandhi said in a post on X.
\nThe Congress has been attacking the prime minister for remaining silent and not countering US President Donald Trump\u2019s repeated claims of bringing a halt to hostilities between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack.
\nThe Free Trade Agreements are possible only when both sides benefit and involve a win-win agreement, Goyal told reporters when asked about the proposed interim trade agreement with the US.
\n\u201cNational interest should always be supreme. Keeping that in mind, if a deal is made, then India is always ready to deal with developed countries,\u201d he said.
\nTrump has set a deadline of July 9 to finalise the trade agreement with India. (AGENCIES)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
