Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra’s reaction has come to light on US Commerce Minister Howard Latnick’s statement regarding India-US trade deal. According to Deepak Vohra, could the US President not have called that he does not need a trade deal?

Is Trump’s ego that big – Vohra
Responding to Howard Latnick’s statement, Deepak Vohra asked whether Trump’s ego is so big that he thinks the whole world should bow before him. He said that US President Trump is a malignant narcissist and that is why he has imposed tariffs on many countries. Let us tell you that Trump has imposed the highest tariff on India at 50 percent. America has gained billions of dollars in profits from these tariffs. Donald Trump himself has told this.

Taunt on Donald Trump
Taking a dig at Donald Trump, former Indian diplomat Vohra said that once the Emperor of Rome was told that people have turned against him, he said that we are afraid, in such a situation, I want to tell Donald Trump that one day the fear will end but the hatred will not end. He further said that Donald Trump does not want to do a trade deal with India? Is this not their benefit?

What claims did Lutnik make?
During a conversation on the All-In podcast, Lutnick claimed that Trump himself is the leader who finalizes the deal and unless the leader talks directly, the deal will not be completed. According to him, America was assuming that the agreement with India would be reached before other countries, hence talks with countries like Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam were also done on the same basis. Lutnik said that the call was not made to Trump from the Indian side because the Indian side was uncomfortable about this matter. During this time, America made agreements with other countries and their terms were fixed.

Apart from this, Lutnik also claims that India expressed its desire for talks again after about 3 weeks, but by then the situation had changed. India said that it is now ready for the deal, but by then the train had left the station.
