India, Aug. 2 -- Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said he would not comment on Rahul Gandhi's remarks about US President Donald Trump's "dead economy" comment, but said India's trade ties with America are important and should not be affected.

Tharoor, who represents Thiruvananthapuram in the Lok Sabha, said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his own reasons for saying it. My concern is much more that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us."The Congress leader said India must protect its strong trade ties with the US, emphasising that America is one of the country's biggest export markets, with around $90 billion worth of goods going there annually."...
