U.S. Congressman Michael Baumgartner speaks exclusively to NDTV's Gaurie Dwivedi on President Trump's tariff moves, India-U.S. relations, and Prime Minister Modi's role in strengthening ties. He emphasises that "Trump respects India and PM Modi a lot" and that the fundamentals of the relationship remain strong despite disagreements over trade. Baumgartner discusses India's importance in resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the role of the Indian American community, and hopes for greater collaboration in defence, education, and counterterrorism. He insists that trade challenges should be seen as leverage, not division, and underscores the Republican Party's respect for India.
