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.
