India – USA
Relations between the new Delhi and Washington are rolling under serious stress after Trump doubled the tariffs to Indian goods to an incredible 50 %, including 25 % of the additional obligation to buy Russian oil in India.
India described the American event as “unfair, unfounded and unduly”. India was also upset about Trump’s new policy on H1B visa.
However, recent telephone interviews between Prime Minister Modi and US President Trump have increased the hopes of a positive outcome of the ongoing business negotiations.
PM Modi spoke with President Trump to praise his peace plan for Gaza. In early September, President Trump was the first global leader to call and spoke with PM Modi, because the Prime Minister turned on September 17 by 75 years.
Both countries have continued to negotiate on a trade agreement after a short break of several weeks.
Trump – Modi Bonhomie
In recent statements, President Trump has hit a conciliatory tone and expressed optimism that the commercial agreement could soon be completed. This is contrary to the earlier tension between the two nations, which are marked with sharp boom over Russian oil purchases in India.
On August 27, however, entered the day when US tariffs entered India, but former Foreign Minister Harsh Vardhan Refreshing expressed hope that India would be able to conclude a “satisfactory mutually beneficial” free trade agreement (FTA) with the US.
Shingla, who is also a member of Rajya Sabha, expressed hope in the “close and special partnership” between PM Modi and President Donald Trump.
Reklingla referred to the events “Howdy Modi and Namaste Trump”, which emphasized the friendship between two leaders during the first term of US President Trump.
‘Howdy Modi’ and ‘Namaste Trump’
In September 2019, President Donald Trump hosted Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Texas on “Howdy, Modi!” event. About 50,000 people took part in the mega event. PM Modi – a year later – welcomed Trump to Gujarat, his home state, for an even greater event that was attended by more than 120,000 people.
Trump lost the US presidential elections 2020 with Joe Biden, but returned to power four years later.

In 2024, India and the US carried out trade in goods and services worth $ 186 billion, with a surplus of $ 41 billion in favor of India.
Trump has repeatedly described India as a “good friend”, but his recent statements and policies concerning visas and tariffs influenced this relationship.
Indian work sector exports are expected to drop by up to 70 percent, as US tariffs will manifest in August.
What to do next?
India is to host the summit quad leaders summit at the end of this year, although the date has to be completed. During his visit in February in February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expanded the invitation of Donald Trump to attend a meeting.
I am glad to receive Mr. Sergio Gora, Ambassador-Design in the US to India. I am convinced that his tenure will further strengthen India – eight complex global strategic partnerships.
The relationships under voltage seemed that Trump’s participation in the Quad Summit was unlikely. However, recent developments in India – links in the US have triggered a certain degree of optimism.
Last month, Gor said that the President was still determined to cooperate with a quad bike and suggests that he can travel to India at the end of this year at the summit in the middle of the business tension between the two nations.
