Explained: Big changes made by White House in revised India-US trade deal factsheet & What it means

In a surprising diplomatic development, the White House revised key details of the India–U.S. trade deal factsheet after New Delhi flagged several inaccuracies. The corrections — made quietly just a day after the original release — suggest that India successfully pushed back on terms it had not formally agreed to, representing a diplomatic win for New Delhi. Notable changes include the removal of a claim that India would lower tariffs on “certain pulses” and the deletion of wording that India would eliminate its digital services tax. Earlier language stating India was “committed to buy” $500 billion in U.S. products was also softened to language saying India “intends to buy more” U.S. goods, and the word “agricultural” was removed from the product purchase list.
