Just days after unveiling a framework for an interim US-India trade deal, the **White House quietly updated its official fact sheet on February 11, 2026, softening or removing several major points that had sparked debate. One notable revision is the removal of “certain pulses” from the list of agricultural products that India would reduce or eliminate tariffs on — a sensitive change given India’s role as the world’s largest producer and consumer of pulses.

Another major adjustment concerns India’s role in boosting US imports. Where the earlier fact sheet had said India “committed” to purchasing over $500 billion worth of US goods — spanning energy, technology and other items — the revised version now states India “intends” to do so, aligning more precisely with language agreed in the February 7 joint statement between the two nations.

The update also drops a reference to removing India’s digital services tax, instead noting that the two sides will “negotiate a robust set of bilateral digital trade rules.” Meanwhile, India will still cut tariffs on a wide range of US industrial and other food products, though the exclusion of pulses signals continued protection for sensitive agricultural sectors.
