The meeting of Modi and Trump keenly watched for the outcome

India would look to cash in on the camaraderie built during Trump's first term. Their bromance was on full display at the 2019 ‘Howdy Modi’ event in the US, where both leaders doled praises for each other. Modi had famously said, “Abki Baar, Trump Sarkaar”. However, Trump 2.0 is different—more aggressive, territorial and intent on upending the world order. But, as contributing editor C Raja Mohan points out, playing the "transactional" game with Trump might not be such a bad deal for India.

 Trump has been using tariffs as leverage to get his way, sparing not even his closest allies. His 25% tariffs on steel and aluminium have already got India on edge. He has even called India a “tariff king” and “abuser” of tariffs in the past.

All eyes are on Modi to see if he can negotiate a trade deal that works for both sides and keeps the heat off India.
