News Topical, Digital Desk : The softening of President Donald Trump's stance on relations with India shows that the US President has started realizing that his aggressive trade strategy with India, especially the threat of an additional 25 percent tariff for buying oil from Russia, has not yielded the expected results.
Former Indian diplomat KB Fabian said that these tariffs were imposed without any solid basis, which were based only on Trump's estimates. Through this, India's resolve was underestimated. He said that Prime Minister Modi gave an accurate reply to Trump's tweet, but even after this we cannot conclude that we will see any change soon.
'What Trump did was wrong'
However, this is a sign that President Trump has realized that the surrender he thought India would make by imposing an additional 25 percent tariff did not happen. He has realized that what he did was wrong.
Fabian stressed that India is always ready for friendly relations and mutual trade, but no one should expect that we will accept unilateral decisions and forceful measures. Fabian said that Trump has to realize that India is a country of civilized people. It cannot be anyone's stooge.
Trump's new statement on India
India wants to be everyone's friend and wants to do business, but no one can give instructions to India. It is worth noting that on Friday Trump had said that his relations with India are very special and stressed that PM Modi will always be his friend and there is nothing to worry about.
