INDIA has rejected any link between US tariffs and recent ceasefire discussions with Pakistan.

- JAYANTH JACOB @ New Delhi

INDIA has rejected any link between US tariffs and recent ceasefire discussions with Pakistan. This came in response to the US administration submitting before a New York federal court in a written filing that President Donald Trump used trade access as an incentive to "avert a full-scale war" between India and Pakistan and broker a ceasefire.

"From the time Operation Sindoor commenced on May 7 till the time of cessation on May 10, there was conversation between India and the US. But the issue of tariffs never came up in these discussions," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday.
