The United States has revised its factsheet on the India-US trade deal. The updated version removes mention of tariff cuts on “certain pulses.” It also drops references to agricultural goods in a $500 billion purchase plan. The earlier document said India “committed” to buy US farm products. The new version says India “intends” to buy energy, tech and coal products. The change came after Congress criticised the deal. India is the world’s largest producer of pulses and protects its farmers with high tariffs. The government has said farmers’ interests remain safe and no sensitive sectors were opened.
