NEW DELHI: As US President Donald Trump declared an imminent ‘very big deal’ with India, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Friday criticised the Centre, linking it to the “abrupt” conclusion of Operation Sindoor.The US president has consistently stated that he utilised trade discussions with India and Pakistan to halt confrontations following the Pahalgam terror attack, although India has consistently rejected these assertions.“After repeating 16 times that he used a trade deal as an instrument to bring about a ceasefire between India & Pakistan, President Trump has now announced that such an India-US trade agreement is going to be signed in the next few days. He calls a ‘ very big deal.’ It better be – given that it led to the abrupt end of Operation Sindoor,” Ramesh posted on X.“As is now becoming evident, India has to get to know decisions of great importance to it from the White House in Washington DC,” he added.Earlier on Friday (local time), President Trump announced that the US is establishing multiple trade agreements, noting a finalised deal with China and an upcoming arrangement with India.At the Big Beautiful Bill event in Washington DC, Trump stated, “We just signed with China yesterday. We are having some great deals. We have one coming up, maybe with India. Very big one. Where we’re going to open up India, in the China deal, we are starting to open up China.”
