S Jaishankar On Trump | S Jaishankar On Negotiations For Trade Deal With US: We've Certain Red Lines

India has certain "red-lines" in its trade negotiations with the US and New Delhi will not compromise on protecting the interests of farmers and small producers, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Saturday. Jaishankar said the negotiations for a trade deal between the two sides are underway. Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum, Jaishankar also said that US President Donald Trump's way of dealing with the world is a very major departure from the traditional way of doing so and the entire world is facing this issue. "We've not had a US president who has conducted foreign policy as publicly as the current one. That itself is a departure that's not limited to India," he said. The relations between New Delhi and Washington are on a downturn after Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to a whopping 50 per cent, including 25 per cent additional duties for India's purchase of Russian crude oil.
