This statement of Piyush Goyal is being considered in clear words as an answer to America from the Indian government.

However, this has been completely denied by the Indian Foreign Ministry. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal had said that no such conversation took place between Modi and Trump.
