Relations between America and India appear to be strengthening once again. The White House said on Tuesday that US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hold frequent talks, while the business teams of the two countries are also continuing serious and constructive talks.
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levitt said in a conversation with reporters, “President Trump respects Prime Minister Modi very much and he talks to him often.” He said that serious discussions are continuously taking place between the two countries regarding trade and economic cooperation, which is an indication that the talks between the two countries are moving in the right direction.
Levitt also told that recently on the occasion of Diwali, Trump had talked to Modi in the Oval Office of the White House. During this time many senior Indian-American officials were also present. He said, “President Trump is very positive about India-US relations and wants to take this relationship forward very strongly.” He also praised US Ambassador Sergio Gore, who is playing an active role in strengthening diplomatic relations on behalf of the US in New Delhi.
After trade dispute, now there are signs of improvement in relations
During his visit to South Korea last week, Trump had said that he wants to make a new trade deal with India. This statement has come at a time when relations between the two countries had soured in the last few years. In fact, Washington had increased the tariff on Indian imports from 25% to 50% due to India continuing to purchase Russian oil.
America made this increase on July 30 and a week later an additional 25% duty was imposed. However, after new US sanctions were imposed on Russian oil majors Rosneft and Lukoil, Indian oil companies have reduced the import of Russian crude oil.
Analysts believe that this development indicates new warmth in India-US relations. It is also clear from the recent statement of the White House that the trade partnership and strategic cooperation between the two countries can gain further momentum in the coming months.
