Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal attended US-India Strategic Partnership Forum's 3rd Annual Leadership Summit on September 1 in Delhi via video conferencing. Speaking on the US-India trade deal, Goyal said, “I spoke with Ambassador Lighthizer (US Trade Rep). We agree that we can look at doing it before elections also or soon after. I'm open to signing up tomorrow. The whole package is near ready and can be finalised at any time when the local political situation in the US permits them to. India believes that it has to be a win-win situation for both India and US.”
