India's minister pledges trade deals only when beneficial, amid US deadline pressure.

India's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that India will only enter trade deals when they serve national interests and provide mutual benefits, rejecting pressure from deadlines. Goyal emphasized a firm and principled approach in negotiations with multiple countries, including the US, and stressed that India is preparing support measures for its toy industry. Opposing this stance, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of yielding to US President Donald Trump's tariff deadline.
