Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has demanded clarity from the Modi government regarding US President Donald Trump's claim that India has agreed to reduce tariffs. Ramesh expressed concerns that such an agreement could compromise the interests of Indian farmers and manufacturers. He urged Prime Minister Modi to address Parliament on this issue when it resumes on March 10. The query comes as Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal engages in trade talks with the US, amidst Trump's threats of reciprocal tariffs starting April 2. Ramesh emphasized the need for transparency on any concessions made by India.
