India would be happy to discuss trade pact with US: Piyush Goyal

India would be "happy and willing" to negotiate a trade pact with the US, provided America decides to look for a new free trade partner, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said here. He said the US administration, as a policy, is not looking at a free trade agreement (FTA) with any new partner. "Should they change their mind, India would be happy and willing to discuss. Without that also, we are engaged in attracting investment, technology, trade between the two countries," the minister told reporters here. During the Trump administration, India and the US had discussed a mini-trade deal to boost economic ties.
