US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Thursday made a big revelation on why the India-US trade deal has not been sealed yet. Speaking at the All-In Podcast, hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya, Lutnick claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s not calling US President Donald Trump affected the trade deal.
“Let’s be clear, it’s his deal. He’s the closer. He does the deal. So I said, you’ve got to have Modi. It’s all set up. You have to have Modi…they were uncomfortable doing it,” the American Commerce Secretary averred. “So Modi didn’t call,” he claimed. The remarks came after Trump on Thursday approved a bill that can impose at least 500 per cent tariffs for countries buying Russian oil, aiming to “punish them.”
