India-US trade deal not done as PM Modi did not call Trump, claims United States Commerce Secy
US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed that a stalled India-US trade deal was due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi not calling President Donald Trump. Lutnick stated the deal required leader-to-leader political signaling, which did not occur, leading to India's discomfort and the lack of a call.
