India-US Trade Deal Fact Sheet Changes: MEA Clarifies Mutual Agreement

New Delhi: February 12, 2026

Modifications made by the White House to the terms and fact sheet of the India-US trade deal have become a topic of political and diplomatic discussion. India’s Foreign Ministry presented its official stance today, clarifying the situation.

MEA’s Key Statement

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told media that the US changes to the fact sheet were not unilateral. Key points from his statement:

  • Mutual Consent: Changes followed consultations and mutual agreement between both countries.

  • Joint Understanding Symbol: These revisions reflect the ‘shared understanding’ on trade issues between India and the US.

  • Interim Agreement: An interim pact ensures mutual trade benefits, with the White House fact sheet based on this joint position.

Dispute Background

Opposition parties questioned these changes, alleging the US was pressuring India by altering terms. The MEA statement dismisses these doubts, showing both nations aligned on trade relations.

This clarification comes as India-US ties focus on trade and defense deals like Rafale and P-8I.
