Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has made it clear that India will not sign Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) under pressure or to meet arbitrary deadlines. Speaking at the 16th International Toy Biz Exhibition, he emphasized that India negotiates trade deals based solely on mutual benefit, fairness, and national interest. Talks are ongoing with the EU, New Zealand, Oman, Chile, and others. While progress was made in Washington, India is firm on resolving key issues in agriculture and auto sectors. Goyal also announced a new scheme to boost domestic toy manufacturing. Meanwhile, India has formally notified the WTO of its plan to impose retaliatory tariffs on selected US goods in response to America’s recent 25% duty hike on cars and auto parts. Watch this space as India asserts its sovereignty on trade terms, with a focus on self-reliance and fair play in global markets.#piyushgoyal #india #unitedstates #indiaustradedeal #freetradeagreement #ustariff #indiantradepolicy #ftaindia #usindianegotiations #wtoresponse #toymanufacturing #makeinindia #indianeconomy #automobiletariff #aatmanirbharbharat #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews
