Indian decision comes amid pressure from the Trump administration, which had called on India and 7 other countries to stop the import of Iranian crude.
US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, on a visit to New Delhi, said trade between the two countries is affected by a plethora of tariff and non-tariff barriers.
The Trump administration had informed Congress that it wants to scrap trade concessions for India, the largest beneficiary of the generalized system of preferences.

Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
There is no point in lecturing Trump about how he must be flexible, accomodative , logical etc. Trump will be Trump and there is an end to the matter. On India’s side we have very foolishly raised tariffs on a host of imports and gone against the expectations that we will run as a modern economy. Mr Modi and Jaitley take the principal blame for this.
While India must stand firm on strategic issues like the S 400 deals, the NDA Govt must quickly learn from the past UPA Govt about how to run a modern economy.

If the US wishes to push expensive knee implants or heart stents and these are completely unaffordable for India’s health system, national interest requires that we resist. However, Shri Srijan Shukla’s basic point is valid. So many years after 1991, India’s economy should have been more open and integrated with the world, including its manufacturing supply chains. That is required to push up our sagging rate of growth. 3. On the diplomatic relationship with the US, some strains are attributable to President Trump’s style of functioning. There are indications that he might not get re-elected. However, there are other differences that are personality agnostic. India needs to prepare better to deal with a world where there are other centres of power, one next door, beyond the Himslayas.
