The impasse in India-US ties continues to be our focus with the former US Ambassador Nikki Haley sounding the alarm, warning that these sanctions risk fracturing a vital alliance. In a Newsweek op-ed, Haley urged President Trump to treat India as a "prized democratic partner," not an adversary like China, emphasizing India's role as a counterweight to Beijing's global ambitions. She called the tariffs a "strategic disaster," noting India's potential to reshape supply chains and stabilize the Middle East.
