In pursuit of its America First policy, the Donald Trump administration is turning the trade screws on India. Just when it looked like India and the US had buried their historical differences and overcome decades of mutual distrust, their bilateral trade relationship, arguably the bedrock on which the rest of the geo-strategic edifice rests, is developing large cracks. First came the much tighter norms for issuing H1B visas, the main entry pass used by Indian IT companies to relocate IT [...]

2017 will be remembered as the year in which India and the US came closer on a number of issues, yet it will also mark the year when the Trump administration frittered away some goodwill by blocking India’s attempt at ensuring food security for millions. The WTO negotiations in Buenos Aires were dead almost before they began. The main point of contention: US opposition to finding a permanent solution to the issue of India (and some other countries) holding large [...]

India takes a tough stand on the Trump administration’s visa crackdown. It’s two steps forward and one step back – once again.
