100% US Tariff threat on India: 'Govt should keep trade negotiations going as long as possible'

On US tariffs on Russian oil, economist and former UN adviser Santosh Mehrotra said the Indian government should stretch the ongoing trade negotiations for as long as possible. He said US President Donald Trump is already facing low approval ratings and an upcoming election, putting him under pressure. Mehrotra added that Trump's approach of threatening and intimidating countries is not new, and argued that India could negotiate better terms by carefully managing its strategy and clearly stating its position.
