India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal accused Rahul Gandhi of Congress of disrupting a crucial discussion on the US-India trade deal in Parliament. Goyal alleged that Gandhi's actions led to 'ugly scenes' and prevented him from sharing details about the deal with lawmakers. The US-India trade deal, announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday, reportedly involves reducing tariffs on Indian goods from 25% to 18%. However, the Indian government has yet to confirm the details of the agreement. Goyal criticized Gandhi for his alleged negative attitude, saying it would be difficult for any leader to work with him. He also questioned Gandhi's motives, asking 'Kya mirchi lagti hai?' (why is Rahul Gandhi feeling a burn). The trade deal has been met with skepticism by the Opposition, who have questioned why Trump tweeted about the deal before it was officially confirmed by the Indian government. Goyal defended the deal, calling it a 'milestone for India's bright future'. The announcement of the trade deal was made by Trump on Monday, who claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had agreed to stop buying Russian oil during a phone call. Modi later thanked Trump for the 'wonderful announcement' but did not confirm the details of the deal. The US-India trade deal is seen as a significant development in the two countries' relationship, with Trump describing his friendship with Modi as 'amazing'. However, the deal's terms and conditions remain unclear, and it is yet to be confirmed by the Indian government.
