Donald Trump’s latest comments have stirred controversy as he hints at a trade pact with Pakistan while criticizing India’s ties with Russia. Trump slammed India’s “high tariffs” and dismissed prospects of stronger trade relations, claiming the US has “done very little business” with India. Mr. Sabnavis reacts, calling it a ploy under Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda – aimed at rattling trade partners and gaining leverage. Despite these remarks, Sabnavis asserts India’s strong sovereign stance and ability to protect its economic interests. As the geopolitical drama unfolds, questions rise on how India will navigate trade talks with the US while safeguarding strategic autonomy and export competitiveness amid a volatile global order.
