At BT Davos 2026, Business Today TV hosted an in-depth conversation with Mukesh Aghi, President & CEO, US–India Strategic Partnership Forum, co-moderated by Siddharth Zarabi, Group Editor, Business Today, and Rajdeep Sardesai, Consulting Editor, India Today TV. The discussion focused on the long-pending US–India trade deal, its likelihood and durability amid Donald Trump’s tariff-driven approach to trade. Aghi explained why negotiations are nearing closure, the challenges of trust in an era of weaponised tariffs, and whether such deals can last. He also addressed concerns around American investment in India, stressing strong CEO confidence, sustained capital flows, and India’s critical role in US supply chains, talent, and global capability centres.
