Trump respects India.US Congressman Michael Baumgartner Said.
In the midst of strained relations between the two nations due to skyrocketing tariffs. US Congressman Michael Baumgartner stated that US President Donald Trump “respects” India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi “a lot.”
Although there might be hiccups along the way. Mr. Baumgartner claimed that India and the US would soon reach a “successful conclusion” and mend their relationship.
“We are aware that President Trump respects India and is a good negotiator. A few years ago, he also had a great time on his trip to India. He cherishes his relationship with Prime Minister Modi. I have a lot of hope that it will be resolved. “It will end successfully, even though there might be some hiccups along the way,” Mr. Baumgartner told NDTV.

The higher tariffs on India, according to Mr. Baumgartner, demonstrate that sometimes one must ask friends for more.
“Well, sometimes you have to ask more of your friends. I believe that America’s increased demands on India should be seen as a show of respect for that country. I can see why some people might be frustrated when viewing it through an Indian perspective. But consider what President Trump and America are attempting to accomplish. Therefore, I’ve told your leaders that the foundations of our two nations are very solid,” he stated.
The Trump administration’s secondary tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil. As well as New Delhi’s denial of his role in mediating the recent conflict with Pakistan. It caused tensions between the US and India in recent weeks. Indian exports are currently subject to US tariffs of more than 50%. Aside from Brazil, this is the highest tariff Trump has imposed under his new list.

India denounced the United States’ “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable” action. That is expected to have an impact on a number of industries, including textiles and maritime exports. In a strong statement, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also emphasized that India would never compromise on the interests of its fishermen and farmers. Modi also said that even though he is aware that he will “have to pay the price.” He is willing to do so for farmers.
Speaking further about the two nations’ relationship, Mr. Baumgartner stated that Republicans “have a lot of respect” for Indians and Indian businesses.
“You just need to observe the numerous dynamic activities carried out by Indian Americans. I believe that more military interaction between the US and India is something that we would like to see. It’s a procedure. However, the more our two militaries integrate. The more adaptable and capable they are of cooperating to combat terrorism and other strategic challenges,” he stated.

The US congressman also talked about the difficulties Indians face in obtaining visas to the US.
More Indian students studying in the US is something else we’d like to see, in my opinion. Due to the new visa procedure. There is currently a slight problem with visas. But once more, the basics for examining how Indian students have boosted the US economy, brought skills back to the US, and expanded cooperation. That’s another one of his strong points,” he stated.
