Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'Do Justice To All, Mr. Trump!' that was published in Newsband


Do Justice To All, Mr. Trump!
India has asked for a trade deal with the U.S. due to his tough policies, President Donald Trump told his supporters. He said countries have learned to respect the U.S. now.
India and the U.S. are negotiating several trade issues, and the talks are in a stalemate as U.S Trade Representative (USTR) has demanded a commitment from India to make additional purchases worth $10 billion annually for the next three years. U.S Secretaries of State and Defense, Mike Pompeo and James Mattis who were in New Delhi for the first 2+2 dialogue sought to reiterate the strategic convergence between the two countries after in the face of assertive China, the President put China and India in the same bracket, yet again.
Alice Wells, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia told that the U.S was working with India, Japan and Australia to keep Asia safe and secure. Both sides agreed that fair and reciprocal trade crucial to the prosperity of our peoples,” Ms. Wells said.
Combining the whole world should be our main task; our second task should be to remove poverty from all over the world, our third task: to destroy the entire terrorism in the world; our fourth task: The money earned must be spent in the same country.
Mr. Trump says they are paying subsidies to us. May one ask what subsidies is he paying India?
We should be busy with constructive work, not with the destructive. In a challenging world, challenging other nations will not do either good or serve the purpose. It is a both way traffic, in other words, give and take. There is no permanent friend or foe. Even from our enemies, we have much to learn, that is the smart way to get ahead. India need everybody, we should not let down anybody who stood with us in our times of crisis, keeping in mind that by 2020, we should not label ourselves as a developing nation, but a proud Developed India.
Only way for India to succeed is by continuing to clean the corruption mess, cut taxes and bureaucracy to make businesses and employment flourish and be globally competitive.
President Trump projects a misconception. The volume of trade increases over a period of time and sometimes a large deficit will occur when too many expensive items are purchased from one party. The return cannot be achieved if America is choosy on where it buys from therefore an array of items are suggested and a variety of products are offered and a trade deal spreads the purchase over a large variety giving an opportunity for America to sample and try out a larger number of specialised country specific products which balances the deficits also. In the process the products of India become better known and technical products to the correct specifications are produced and the country improves its standards and world exposure takes place.
Trump talks like a man who has conquered the whole World. Even if it is true, he should choose to do ‘Justice To All’ which is the true American Spirit.
