US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday discussed trade and a possible state visit to Washington in a phone call.
The White House stated that Trump emphasized the importance of “a fair bilateral trading relations” and also emphasized the importance of purchasing India’s American-made security equipment.
The two leaders discussed plans for Modi to visit the White House.
Modi said on social media, “We are committed to a mutually beneficial and reliable partnership.”
“We will work together for the welfare and global peace, prosperity and security of our people.”
Keeping Modi close to Trump
Modi was one of the first world leaders to congratulate Trump, when he was projected to win his recent opening, calling his recent opening in the White House as “dear friend”.
During Trump’s first term, Modi emphasized the desire to work with the American leader for the benefit of both his countries.
In September 2019, the two performed their cameradari by organizing a “Hody Modi” program in Houston, where Trump addressed some 50,000 Indian-Americans, who marked a significant moment in the relations of American India.
After that rally, there was a “Namaste Trump” incident in the state of Gujarat, India in February 2020, where Trump vowed to strengthen the US-India relations.
What are the common interests of America and India?
The US-India relations have increased to several presidential positions as the two democracy share a common goal of incorporating China in the India-Pacific region.
Observers believe that shared objective means that security relationship will remain stable. India bought tens of billions of American military hardware from the previous Biden administration.
However, business can be a different story, due to Trump’s desire to use TATF to use a foreign policy tool.
Foreign policy expert C Raja Mohan told DW before last year’s election, “Trump had earlier called India a ‘Tariff King’ and indicated the intention of implementing a mutual tax system, if he was re -elected Gaya, which will further complicate the dynamics of trade between the two countries, “Foreign policy expert C Raja Mohan told DW before last year’s election. ,
“The second Trump Presidency outlines a complex setting for India, marked by weighty risks in business and immigration,” said.
The annual bilateral trade between the two countries exceeds $ 190 billion (€ 181 billion). America’s largest export market for the US and services.
If Trump took the leading taf on Indian exports, it could cause problems for India’s domestic businesses.
