PM Modi and Trump’s Trade Talks Likely to End in Mutual Compromise

PM Narendra Modi's strategy involves leveraging India's vast consumer market and its critical role in global supply chain diversification, along with a strategic partnership with the US, to secure favorable trade terms.

However, Donald Trump’s "reciprocal tariff" approach and his "America First" philosophy indicate that he will aggressively push for a deal that prioritizes American businesses and workers.

The likely outcome is expected to be a balanced compromise, with both India and the US making strategic concessions to ensure mutual economic growth, rather than one side clearly dominating or "outplaying" the other.
