Donald Trump and His Upcoming Visit to India

Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will visit India to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi from February 24 to 25, the White House announced early on Tuesday morning.

US President Trump is visiting India in the last decade of February. The US President’s visit to India was of paramount importance, but it is worth taking into consideration President Trump and his policies.

The start of the love affair between the US and India is the result of a mistake made by Kargil’s planners some 21 years ago. After the end of the Cold War, India was not getting any opportunity through which it could gain US proximity.

Kargil’s mistake gave India a chance. Clinton, Bush Jr. and Obama visited India after that. In the Bush era, India succeeded in signing a deal like civilian nuclear technology. These days, the US was making ranks in regards to its strategic interests.

To achieve these interests with regard to China, India became an ally of the United States and the United States established its Indo-Pacific Strategy and India was given the role.

Since World War II, the United States has been pursuing a strategy of facilitating trade alliances in order to gain and maintain its strategic interests. In Europe, Asia, and so on, this was the mechanism by which the American economy was under pressure. By the time President Trump was elected, the effects of the American economy began to affect the lives of ordinary Americans.

So Trump came to the polls with the slogan that strategic interests belong not only to the United States but also to its allies.So the price America is paying for acquiring and maintaining those interests now wants to pay a fraction of that cost to its allies.

To persevere and prove his point, Trump took the trade route from China to let his allies know he was not caring for a confrontation. Along with this, tariff matters were brought in to reduce the trade deficit from Europe, etc. and at the same time gave India a push three years ago.

While eliminating the tax exemption on its steel and aluminum products and raising the tariffs on them. For India, it was like a disaster, but if Trump didn’t care about Europe, what would India do?

India reacts to raise tariffs on US agricultural and medical products, but Indian economy is so small than the US economy.

The Indian economy is currently in decline. India has the highest rate of unemployment in the last 50 years, while India’s growth rate is expected to be 4.8 percent this year, according to the IMF. Which is insufficient to cope with this unemployment challenge.

Therefore, India would like to resolve the matter with the United States to end any kind of trade unrest. Modi has tried to save his local industry by raising tariffs, but he will not succeed.

It’s America’s presidential election year, so President Trump wants to show voters that he signed a trade deal with a country like India that opened the Indian market to more Americans.And US $ 25 billion in trade deficit from India has also been remedied to reduce this deficit gradually. Trump wants to move India’s trade policy and Indian strategic strategy together because he believes that India does not want to stand in love with the United States as opposed to Indo-Pacific Strategy or China.

A $ 2.5 billion US helicopter deal is expected during Trump’s visit, while the Navy and Maritime are also expected. In addition, discussions on the establishment of a science and space research center are expected, which may have other aims.

India has long been trying to secure a foothold in the area. Therefore, at all costs, he would like to succeed in President Trump’s visit to give his people the impression that warmth in relations with the United States is still on its peak.

Moreover, America is giving India as much importance as in the past. To curb its diplomatic successes, India would like President Trump to stand on India’s head and play a negative sentence about Pakistan, but India is trying to break even with the negative about the C-PEC.But Washington has certified news that the State Department has suggested to President Trump not to talk to C-PEC.

India does not yet seem to succeed in its goal.Pakistan cannot remain indifferent to these conditions so that President Trump’s visit to India will not have any negative impact on us, but it requires strong strategy.

But we could not formulate a strategy for the Malaysian Conference. The presence of a serious strategy regarding President Trump’s visit seems difficult after such rash mistakes.
