In a big diplomatic victory for New Delhi, the White House has revised its fact sheet issued after a trade deal between India and the United States. Earlier, pulses were mentioned in a list of American products on which it said India will eliminate or reduce tariffs. However, this product has now been removed.

The White House earlier stated that India would remove or lower tariffs on a range of US industrial goods and agricultural products, including dried distillers’ grains, red sorghum, tree nuts, fresh and processed fruit, certain pulses, soybean oil, wine, spirits, and other items. The fact sheet also suggested that India had committed to purchasing more American products, with plans to acquire over USD 500 billion of US energy, information and communication technology, agricultural goods, coal, and other products.

However, a revised version of the fact sheet, released on Tuesday, made some notable changes. References to “certain pulses” were removed, and the language regarding India’s purchases was softened from “committed” to “intends.”
