India on Friday rejected the claims made by US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on why the trade deal between Washington and New Delhi collapsed, and said that the characterisation of discussions in reported remarks are not accurate. Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India remains interested in "mutually beneficial" trade deal with the United States.
