The MEA emphasised that the Joint Statement continues to serve as the basis of mutual understanding.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) clarified that key revisions in a White House fact sheet on the interim India-US trade framework do not alter the core understanding between the two countries. The MEA emphasised that the Joint Statement continues to serve as the basis of mutual understanding.

“As you are aware, the India-US Joint Statement on the framework for an Interim Agreement on reciprocal and mutually beneficial trade was issued on 7 February 2026. The Joint Statement is the framework and remains the basis of our mutual understanding in the matter," the ministry said.

The MEA added that both sides will now work towards implementing this framework and finalizing the Interim Agreement. It also noted that the recent amendments in the US fact sheet “reflect the shared understandings contained in the Joint Statement."
