@theskindoctor13 Excellent officer, huge respect. More power to him. Promise you I expanded this post to read how many crores in cash was recovered from his home when I read young IAS officer. 🙏
This news is completely false, baseless and misleading.
I had fantastic meetings with USTR Jamieson Greer, @USTradeRep, when he visited Delhi in June. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to an agreement that is balanced, commercially meaningful, and delivers tangible benefits for businesses, farmers, workers, and consumers in both countries.
Our teams remain fully engaged in achieving this objective.
Reuters still hasn't deleted or corrected this report.
India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has called it "completely false, baseless and misleading."
The US Ambassador to India has also publicly rejected the claim, saying both sides remain committed to finalizing a trade deal.
If unnamed "officials" are the basis of such a major story, where are they? It's not their first time they always do auch silly things. Anonymous sourcing cannot become a shield from accountability.
Reuters owes its readers an explanation not silence.
Reuters is again playing its familiar dirty-tricks game with India.
First, manufacture a dramatic headline: an “emboldened India” has supposedly “rejected” a quick trade agreement with the United States and is now holding out because Narendra Modi has gained political confidence at home.
The evidence?
Unnamed officials, unnamed sources and a generous helping of editorial interpretation.
Now consider the facts Reuters buried beneath its narrative.
The White House itself says the two countries remain productively engaged in finalising a historic agreement.
India has said that both governments remain fully committed to a balanced, commercially meaningful agreement benefiting businesses, farmers, workers and consumers.
India sees no challenge to their successful conclusion, and the framework agreement is already ready to be signed at the appropriate time.
That is not a collapsed negotiation. It is not India walking away. It is two sovereign countries bargaining over the final terms of an enormously consequential trade agreement.
And what exactly is India’s alleged offence?
That it wants preferential tariff treatment for its exporters?
That it refuses to sacrifice its farmers merely to satisfy an artificial deadline?
That it will not sign away long-term national interests in exchange for temporary tariff relief?
That is not an “emboldened” India misbehaving. That is precisely what competent trade negotiators are supposed to do.
Reuters’ own article admits that India’s exports are rising, its economy is resilient, its trade relationships are diversifying and its negotiating leverage has strengthened. Yet instead of reporting this as India negotiating from a position of economic strength, it injects Modi’s electoral victories and supposed political swagger into the story - as though protecting Indian interests is some personal act of defiance against Washington.
The pattern is becoming embarrassingly predictable:
Anonymous sources create the insinuation.
Loaded language supplies the controversy.
Clown prince and his Congress party supplies the political angle.
And when the Indian government publicly contradicts the report, Reuters quietly publishes another dispatch containing the facts that should have shaped the original headline.
India has neither rejected America nor abandoned the agreement.
India has merely refused to behave like a supplicant.
Apparently, that is what Reuters finds newsworthy.
Fake news alert! No one has rejected anything. Both sides had very constructive meetings and reaffirmed their commitment to finalizing a trade deal. We continue to stay actively engaged.
Reuters - you can do better!
@vtchakarova Even UK got those stuck caps. QQ Where do you place the cap, on the nose or the cheek? Which is most comfortable position. I got plastic cut trying to fully remove the first time so not going there.
@gurgaonpolice You are aware two wheelers block the entire road trying to shade from rain under all bridges. Why don't we deploy forces as soon rain starts or even before. Install camera at all bridges and issue challan. This problem can be fixed immediately .
@nikitabier@noturtlesoup17 How do you decide original? The first one to post the content? The other day you called someone original creator for image of a 150 yr old football. Were they really the original owner of that football and it's pic?
A spectacular sight in NYC! @IndianNavy’s INS Sudarshini sailed past the Statue of Liberty on July 4, representing India during America’s 250th anniversary celebrations. #Sail250.
