CM raises concern over Indo-US trade deal

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday stated that the reported U.S.–India trade deal raises serious concerns. According to a post on the social media platform X, he said, “Slashing tariffs and non-tariff protections will hurt Indian farmers, workers and domestic industry, while pushing the country into an unequal, subordinate position. The full agreement must be placed before Parliament and the public. Any provision that compromises livelihoods, food security and economic sovereignty must be firmly resisted,” he said.
