India’s Union Minister Piyush Goyal says reports claiming a deadlock in India-US trade negotiations are false and misleading. In response to coverage that described stalled talks, Goyal says discussions between the two countries are ongoing and that both sides remain committed to reaching an agreement that benefits them. According to the Reuters-linked report referenced by NDTV, India was portrayed as seeking a better deal and having rejected a faster trade pact during recent negotiations. Goyal disputes that characterization, saying the claims do not reflect the current status of the talks. Mint similarly reports that Goyal dismissed the deadlock narrative and reiterated that engagement continues. The two accounts align on Goyal’s position that the reported impasse is inaccurate, and that the negotiating process is still active. The reports do not provide additional confirmed details on any specific proposal, timeline, or sticking points within the negotiations beyond the minister’s denial of a deadlock.
