  "account": "Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stated on Wednesday that India's relationship with the United States is \"very good\" and \"substantive\" despite ongoing trade negotiations and tensions. At a New Economy Forum in New Delhi, Goyal assured that the ties between the two large democracies would only grow stronger, regardless of any changes in political leadership. The remarks came amid ongoing difficulties in finalizing a comprehensive trade deal, which has been hampered by prolonged negotiations, retaliatory tariffs, and diplomatic disputes, such as the US president's comments on India's brief armed conflict with Pakistan. Recent actions, such as suspending several Indian IT services firms from a visa program, have further strained the partnership. Despite these challenges, Goyal emphasized the importance of the US-India relationship, stating that the two nations remain deeply committed to working together across multiple fronts, including defense and technology.",
