NEW YORK/WASHINGTON: White House ne India ke saath ek naye trade agreement ko saraha hai. White House ke mutabik, India ab Russian oil se door, Prime Minister Narendra Modi ne America ke key sectors mein USD 500 billion ke investments par bhi sahmati di hai.
Ye baat White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ne Tuesday ko kahi.
“President ne India ke saath ek aur bada trade deal kiya hai. Unhone Prime Minister Modi se directly baat ki. Dono leaders ke beech kaafi achha relationship hai,” Leavitt ne reporters ko bataya.

Leavitt ne ye bhi kaha ki Prime Minister Modi ne America mein transportation, energy aur agriculture jaise sectors mein USD 500 billion ke investments ka commitment diya hai.
“Ye President Trump ki wajah se ek aur great trade deal hai,” unhone kaha.
President Trump ne kaha ki US ne India par lagne wale tariffs ko 25% se kam karke 18% kar diya hai, jabki India ne saare tariffs aur non-tariff barriers hatane par sahmati di hai.
Pehle Fox News se baat karte hue India–US trade deal par, Leavitt ne kaha ki Monday ko dono leaders ke beech “great call” hui thi, jiske baad ye bilateral agreement announce kiya gaya.
“Prime Minister Modi ke mamle mein, mujhe pata hai ki President unke saath apne relationship ko kaafi enjoy karte hain aur unke aur unke desh India ke liye unke mann mein gehra respect hai,” Leavitt ne kaha.
“Unke beech ek bahut achhi call hui. Ye call kaafi productive thi, aur isi mein ek deal final hui jisme India ne Russian oil kharidna band karne aur zyada American oil kharidne par sahmati di, aur mumkin hai Venezuela se bhi oil le,” unhone kaha.
Leavitt ne ye bhi bataya ki Trump aur unki national security team ab Venezuela ke oil trade aur sales ko “dictate” kar rahi hai.
“Iska seedha fayda American logon ko hoga. Iske alawa, President Trump ke call to action ke baad India ne America mein zyada investment karne par bhi agreement diya hai,” unhone kaha.
Unhone aage kaha ki India ne US ke energy, transportation aur agricultural products mein USD 500 billion ki purchases ka commitment diya hai.
Leavitt ne bataya ki ab India par US ka tariff 18 percent hoga, jabki America se India jaane wale exports par zero tariff lagega. Unhone is deal ko “ek great deal aur American workers, businesses aur consumers ke liye badi jeet” bataya.
Trump administration ne pehle India par 50 percent tak tariffs lagaye the, jisme Russian oil kharidne ko lekar 25 percent ka penalty bhi shamil tha.

“Khushi hai ki ab Made in India products par tariff kam hokar 18 percent ho gaya hai. Is wonderful announcement ke liye main President Trump ko India ke 1.4 billion logon ki taraf se bada thank you kehta hoon,” Modi ne kaha.
“Jab do badi economies aur duniya ki sabse badi democracies saath kaam karti hain, toh iska fayda logon ko milta hai aur mutually beneficial cooperation ke liye naye mauke khulte hain,” unhone kaha.
“Global peace, stability aur prosperity ke liye President Trump ki leadership bahut zaroori hai. India unke peace efforts ko poori tarah support karta hai, aur main unke saath milkar apni partnership ko naye aur unprecedented heights tak le jaane ke liye eager hoon,” unhone kaha.
