WASHINGTON: (Urdu Point/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Feb 19^th, 2020) US President Donald J Trump said that he cannot confirm completion of trade deal with India before Presidential election in November, saying that he is still working on it with India.

According to the details, US President Trump will visit India on two-day official tour from February 24 to Feb 26. However, the sources say that it is still not sure that whether the both sides could reach mutually agreed trade deal as the negotiators are also making efforts to back the US to have access to the dairy and poultry markets of India. The US is also being asked to lower tariffs on other products , the sources add.

Before Trump visit, US Trade Representative Robert Lightizer’s plan tour to India has been cancelled—causing dent on the close relation of both sides.

“We can have a trade deal with India but I’m really saving the big deal for later on,” Trump told the reporters on Tuesday outside Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

A statement issued by the White House read: “We are going to make big deal with India,” hoping that they will get it done.

He mentioned roadshow for himself ahead of “Hello Trump rally” in Ahmadabad—the main city in Gujarat where he will begin the trip.
