US President Trump is scheduled to visit India for the first time since being elected this month. His visit comes against the backdrop of India-US trade tensions.
India will soon pay Russia the first installment for S-400 Triumf air defence system. The delivery of the first system will be done within two years of this payment.
Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
Trump is core Capitalist and puts American interest first. He is extremely volatile and has fewer friends. However, unlike other US Presidents, he is not manipulative. Historically, Democrats have been toxic for India. Clinton never liked India and Obama was bound by compulsion as the US alliance with Pakistan fell apart. The current lot of Democrats live in an alien world made up of roses and candy trees. They won’t be able to balance their impractical liberal views viz-a-viz China or India. While Biden is unlikely to be bad for India but will be victory lap for China and indirectly bad for India.
President Trump is nobody’s friend. Leaders of countries like Japan and Britain, whose special relationships with the US India cannot hope to replicate, have found this out to their cost. On issues as important as TPP and the Paris Accord. So India should moderate its expectations in case there is a second term. 2. India’s privileged friendship with the US ranks above any other bilateral relationship. It should not be impaired by partisan politics, which is also seen now in Britain. We also lack the ability the Chinese have to agree to buy another $ 200 billion of US exports in the next two years to win favour. Smart diplomacy is required. It would help to choose envoys who have at least three years of residual service. Anatoly Dobrynin served served as Soviet Ambassador to the US from 1962 to 1986.
Trump is a great friend for India. He is steady on his promises as shown by his insistence to implement his election promises. He is great strategist as seen in election 2016 and his ability to get USMCA agreement done inspite of opposition. He has consistently helped his friends like Netanyahu of Israel.
That’s a funny question. So re you saying, if Hitler was better for India, we should have supported Hitler.
What’s better for America should be the guy in power and India needs to coexist with him or her.
