WASHINGTON – India Ministry of External Affairs on Friday sought to play down US President Donald Trump’s recent statement targeting India and other nations on import duties and announced reciprocal tariffs from April 2.

MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India and the US had agreed during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Washington last month to negotiate a mutually beneficial multi-sector trade deal.

He said Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal was in Washington and held talks with his US counterpart Howard Lutnick to strike an early bilateral trade deal. The Indian minister discussed trade, tariffs and other issues.
