Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has expressed his opinion on the issue of Rahul Gandhi agreeing with the comment made by Donald Trump on the dead economy. Tharoor did not engage in the political discussion but instead emphasised economic relationships between India and the US and stressed the necessity of trade policies and facilitation of negotiators.
What Exactly Happened?
In one of his interviews, Donald Trump said that the economy of India was dead. Amazingly, this is what Rahul Gandhi believed in, and he has used it as an instrument to criticise the ruling government and raise awareness on social conditions and problems in the country, such as unemployment and inflation.
Shashi Tharoor\’s Balanced Stand
Shashi Tharoor did not welcome the idea of even commenting on the opinion of his party leader, Rahul Gandhi, who did outline the view that Donald Trump had expressed about the economy of India. In his opinion, Rahul Gandhi must have had his reasons to say that. Tharoor avoided political melodrama and instead talked about a more crucial issue, trade relations between India and America.
India–US Trade is Crucial
India exports approximately 90 billion dollars\’ worth of products to the US, as mentioned by Shashi Tharoor. This is a prominent figure and amounts to an essential component of the Indian economy. He told us we cannot afford to let this trade suffer or close down. Having a good relationship with the US is not only significant in the political arena; it is a crucial economic relationship.
Support for Indian Negotiators
Tharoor pointed out that trade negotiators in India require all our attention. They are already gearing up to see that India is dealt fairly on the international trade fronts. According to Shashi Tharoor, these are the people who can defend the Indian interests and keep the good relationship with the US with the right kind of support behind their backs.
Expand Trade Beyond the US
The US is a significant trading partner, said Shashi Tharoor, but another is that India should think of trading with other countries and regions too. If India develops strong trade affiliations with numerous countries, then any weakness in one market can be overcome through the other. This way, India\’s economy is saved and strong.
