Trump’s America First Policy and Its Impact on India
In a recent address at Chatham House in London, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted how the evolving multipolar world order benefits India, largely influenced by the Trump administration’s policies. Jaishankar emphasized that many of President Trump’s priorities align well with India’s national interests.
Energy Stability and Technological Advancements
Jaishankar noted that the Trump administration’s commitment to keeping energy prices stable is favorable for India. He also pointed out the emphasis on technology as a transformative factor in global politics, presenting new opportunities for collaboration. “When I look at our interests and our expectations of the relationship, there is a lot of promise,” Jaishankar stated, underlining the potential for cooperation in a multipolar world.
Dollar’s Role in the Global Economy
Addressing concerns about currency multipolarity, Jaishankar clarified that India does not intend to undermine the US dollar, which he described as a source of international economic stability. “We want more economic stability, not less,” he said, emphasizing the importance of the dollar in addressing regional economic challenges.
Defending India’s Human Rights Record
Jaishankar also took the opportunity to defend India’s human rights record amidst international criticism. He argued that India, as a credible democracy, has a strong human rights record and that any sweeping concerns are misplaced. “Good politics is about treating your citizens equally,” he asserted, emphasizing the need for fair treatment of all citizens.
