MEA Refutes Howard Lutnick's Claims On PM Modi-Trump Trade Deal | India Today

Ministry of External Affairs’ (MEA) rebuttal of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s recent comments regarding the India-US trade deal. The MEA dismissed Lutnick’s claims as ‘not accurate’, clarifying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Donald Trump have ‘spoken on phone on eight occasions during 2025’ to discuss their partnership. Lutnick had suggested the ‘trade deal window has come to an end’ because the Prime Minister allegedly failed to communicate with the President. However, the ministry emphasised that both nations remain committed to a mutually beneficial agreement, with multiple rounds of negotiations already conducted. India Today Global’s Pranay Upadhyay highlights the discrepancy between Lutnick’s statements and President Trump’s own social media posts, which indicate a positive trajectory for the partnership. The report underscores the ongoing diplomatic efforts to bridge differences despite contradictory narratives from US officials, as India looks forward to a potential presidential visit in early 2026.
