Indian officials have hit back at Howard Lutnick’s face-saving narrative about why President Donald Trump has not yet struck a trade deal with the South Asian country.
Speaking with the All-In podcast Thursday, the president’s trade secretary said that in order to finalize any trade agreements, he’d told his Indian counterparts that “you have to have [Prime Minister Narendra] Modi call the president.”
“They were uncomfortable doing it. So Modi didn’t call,” he said, claiming it was only after several weeks of deals being struck with other trading partners that New Delhi got back in touch to say, “Okay, we’re ready.”
