Can PM Modi’s talks with Trump avert India-US tariff war?
PM Narendra Modi will hold bilateral talks with US President Donald Trump today to strengthen the ties between the two countries and quell the Republican’s tariff threats. During his first term, Trump dubbed India the “tariff king.” In 2018, the US administration under the Republican applied tariffs on Indian steel and aluminium. Richard Rossow, head of the India programme at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, told the news agency that tariffs will be “front and centre” during Modi’s US visit. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Jon Danilowicz, a retired diplomat who served at the US Department of State, said, “A good equation can get India a quicker meeting or face time with Trump, not a deal.” “It would be a mistake for India, or any country, to put too much emphasis on a personal relationship with Trump and neglect that there are many other inputs into the US foreign policy-making process, including the Congress.” As PM Modi meets Trump, he can point to recent measures by India to slash tariffs on US goods, analysts say.
