US President Donald Trump.
Washington/New Delhi: The US has imposed a huge tariff of 50% on India, which is the largest tariff imposed on any trading partner. A recent report by the US financial company Jefferies claimed that the real reason for this tariff is President Donald Trump’s ‘Private Khunnas’ towards India. India clearly rejected Trump’s mediation on its old controversy with Pakistan, especially on the Kashmir issue, shattered Trump’s dream of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and the same angered him.
India rejected Trump’s statement
According to the report, Trump wanted him to play an important role in ending the decades -old enmity between India and Pakistan. Trump, who has always been famous for his political gimmicks, several times claimed that he stopped the ‘nuclear war’ between India and Pakistan. But India made it clear that it had ceased directly with Pakistan and not with the help of a third party. Amid trying to take credit for Trump’s repeated ceasefire, India continuously made it clear that the ceasefire had demanded from Pakistan and Trump had no role in it.
India’s attitude broke Trump’s dream
India’s attitude has always been clear that it will not tolerate the mediation of a third country on a sensitive issue like Kashmir. Earlier this year, Trump once again raised arbitration on the Kashmir issue, which made India angered. The report of Jefferies says that India maintained its ‘Red Line’, even if it had to bear the risk of huge economic loss. This hurt Trump’s Ahmak and did not get a chance to present his achievement to the world for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Indo-US relationship stressed
Tariff has caused a deep injury to India and the US relations. India is considered to be an important partner of America against China in Asia, but Tariff has soured the relationship between the two countries. Referring to another important issue in the report, it has been said that America wants more access to India’s agriculture and dairy markets, but both these areas are very sensitive for India. This sector employs 40% of the country’s workforce. This is the reason why India has refused to open these areas to foreign companies, due to which bilateral trade talks going on since March have also been hanging in the balance.
India will not compromise national interests
The report of Jefferies clearly says that Trump’s move is inspired not only for financial but also for private and political reasons. India, by staying adamant on its policies, showed that it would not compromise on its national interests, whether it is the issue of Kashmir or the interest of farmers. But the impact of this confrontation can be seen for a long time on the relationship and global trade of the two countries. Now the question is whether India and America will be able to find a new way to reduce this tension, or will it be sour and deep? Time will answer this.
