New Delhi, Feb. 3 -- Samajwadi Party (SP) MP Dimple Yadav on Tuesday criticised the India-US trade deal, saying that the fact the announcement came from US President Donald Trump instead of the Indian government highlights the Ministry of External Affairs' failure to negotiate the agreement effectively.

The India-US trade deal reduces tariffs on Indian goods in the US to 18 per cent, while Washington has claimed the deal will help it export more agricultural products to New Delhi.

Speaking to ANI, Yadav said, "The announcement did not come from the Government of India, but from US President Trump. The attitude of the US shows that our Ministry of External Affairs is not able to negotiate in the manner that a deal should be done."
