India\u2019s trade pact with the United States was delayed because Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not make a telephone call to US President Donald Trump to close a deal they were negotiating, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on Friday.<\/p>\n

The trade talks fell apart<\/a> last year and Trump doubled<\/a> tariffs on Indian goods in August to 50 per cent, the world\u2019s highest rate, including a levy of 25pc in retaliation for India\u2019s purchases of Russian oil.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all set up and you have got to have Modi call the president. And they were uncomfortable doing it,\u201d Lutnick said in an interview on the All-In<\/em> podcast, a US show by four venture capitalists that focuses on business and technology. \u201cSo Modi didn\u2019t call.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/figure>\n

The comments came after Trump stepped up the pressure for talks with a warning<\/a> this week that tariffs could rise further unless India curbs its Russian oil imports.<\/p>\n

That step pushed the Indian rupee to a record low and spooked investors waiting for progress in two-way negotiations for a trade deal that remains elusive.<\/p>\n

India still seeks a tariff rate between Washington\u2019s offers to Britain and Vietnam that had formerly been agreed but the offer has expired, Lutnick added.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s trade ministry did not immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment on Lutnick\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

New Delhi and Washington were very close to a trade deal last year but a communication breakdown led to the collapse of any potential pact, Reuters<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n

It cited an Indian government official involved in the talks as saying that Modi could not have called Trump, for fear that a one-sided conversation would put him on the spot.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
