"Weathered Many Challenges": India Hopes Ties With US Will Move Forward
India, days after the massive tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump, declared that the relations between the world largest and the oldest democracy were based on "substantive agenda" on which it would remain focussed. "We hope that the relationship will continue to move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests," the foreign ministry said today.
The imposition of 50 per cent tariff within a month in two tranches and what many saw as the bullying stance of the US over Russian oil imports by India, had raised concern that the India-US partnership -- cultivated over 25 years and three US administrations -- might decline.
