Starting in next 10 mins👇🏻 Amitabh Mattoo Seema Sirohi Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर Manish Dabhade


We're now LIVE tweeting the panel discussion 'Dealing with Donald J. Trump: Mapping Pathways Ahead' with Amitabh Mattoo, Seema Sirohi Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर & Manish Dabhade.


Dr. Manish Dabhade delivered the introductory remarks highlighting the challenges & opportunities of Trump 2.0 & evolution of the India-US relationship.


Ms. Seema Sirohi: The Trump 2.0 is chaotic and challenging for all countries. Trump has more control in this administration. Some MAGA influencers have exerted influence in the administration. Tariffs are the new sanctions.


Ms. Seema Sirohi: India should be calm and continue engagement with the Trump administration. India's decision to arrange a meeting of PM Modi with President Trump in the early days of the administration was wise. Trump's fascination for Pakistan has been an irritant for India.


Ms. Seema Sirohi: Hostility towards Indian-Americans among the MAGA base is concerning. Trump's China policy might be confusing for India. Geopolitical logic may help the 🇮🇳-🇺🇸 relationship to strengthen despite the challenges.


Mr. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर: The Biden administration contributed significantly to the strengthening of the 🇮🇳-🇺🇸 relationship. The issues like Khalistan & Bangladesh colored that relationship in the last year. Samir Saran


Mr. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर: The India-US relationship faced problem during the Operation Sindoor. Trump's handling of this issue has not been viewed positively in India.


Mr. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर: There is a debate going on in Trump's mind about his legacy, family, business etc. He sees himself as a peacemaker but understands limitations. In 🇮🇳🇵🇰, he saw it as an opportunity to claim credit. The 🇮🇳-🇺🇸 is on track but not the relationship with Trump.


Mr. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर: Defense, energy, technology & trade are going to be key pillars of the 🇺🇸-🇮🇳 relationship in the months ahead.


Prof. Amitabh Mattoo: The Trump 2.0 is a complete subversion of the system. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर


Prof. Amitabh Mattoo: Trump becoming the Protectionist-in-Chief would mean India has to recalibrate, focus & speak the language of leverage. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर


Prof. Amitabh Mattoo: The H1-B controversy would create problems for Indians. Indians are seen as job-thieves by certain sections in the 🇺🇸. This should be seen as an opportunity for India to initiate brain-gain for our country! Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर


Prof. Amitabh Mattoo: Strategic solitude of America is going to be the biggest problem where 🇺🇸 will turn out to be an unreliable partner. India should invest more in our indigenous defence production. India should stand firm regardless of the US. Dhruva Jaishankar · ध्रुव जयशंकर
