Bracing to negotiate with a protectionist America

Hindustan Times  

Donald Trump has just won the most geopolitical of all American elections. While Trump may be inclined to support Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu, he is shrewd enough to realise that the continuing war in Gaza is not in America’s interest; a number of Arab Americans would have voted for Trump in the hope that he would bring the conflict to an end. Trump has this crazy notion of a “reciprocal trade act” that would impose punitive tariffs not just on foes like China but also on friends such as the EU and India. From India’s point of view, the implications of a second Trump presidency relate, first and foremost, to purely foreign and strategic policy perspectives, Trump is good for us. The logic is that there is likely to be less hectoring about democracy and values, greater strategic convergence, and, of course, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s own personal equation with Trump is a major factor.
