Nikki Haley urges Trump to treat India as prized free, democratic partner
Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, in an opinion piece on Newsweek, emphasised the need to treat India as "prized free and democratic partner" to counter China said that "scuttling 25 years of momentum" with New Delhi would be a "strategic disaster." Nikki Haley called a strong partnership between India and China a "no-brainer" emphasising that the rise of a democratic India does not threaten the free world, "unlike Communist-controlled China." "India must be treated like the prized free and democratic partner that it is--not an adversary like China, which has thus far avoided sanctions for its Russian oil purchases, despite being one of Moscow's largest customers. If that disparity does not demand a closer look at U.S.-India relations, the realities of hard power should. Scuttling 25 years of momentum with the only country that can serve as a counterweight to Chinese dominance in Asia would be a strategic disaster," Nikki Haley said in her opinion piece on Newsweek. "Unlike Communist-controlled China, the rise of a democratic India does not threaten the free world. Partnership between the U.S. and India to counter China should be a no-brainer," she added. Nikki Haley pointed out that India has the potential to manufacture at a scale similar to China's for products that can help the US move its critical supply chains away from Beijing. She also mentioned that India's growing defence capabilities and its involvement in the Middle East are "essential" for stabilising the region. "In the short term, India is essential in helping the United States move its critical supply chains away from China. While the Trump administration works to bring manufacturing back to our shores, India stands alone in its potential to manufacture at a China-like scale for products that can't be quickly or efficiently produced here, like textiles, inexpensive phones, and solar panels," Nikki Haley said in the opinion piece. "India's growing clout and security involvement in the Middle East could prove essential in helping to stabilise the region as America seeks to send fewer troops and dollars there. And India's location at the centre of China's vital trade and energy flows could complicate Beijing's options in the case of a major conflict," she added. Nikki Haley, in the Newsweek article, further pointed out that India is the world's fastest-growing major economy and will soon take over Japan. She said that India's rise is the "greatest obstacles to China's goal of reshaping the global order." "Simply put, China's ambitions will have to shrink as India's power grows," she added. She also highlighted India's conflicting economic interests and ongoing territorial disputes with China, mentioning the Galwan Valley skirmish in 2020. She said that the partnership with the US would serve America's interests to help India stand up to its increasingly aggressive northern neighbour, both economically and militarily. In her opinion piece on Newsweek, Haley said that it would be a massive--and preventable--mistake to balloon a trade spat between the United States and India into an enduring rupture. She also raised concerns over China taking advantage of the situation. She advised India to take US President Donald Trump's point on Russian Oil seriously and work with the White House to find a solution. She urged Donald Trump to "reverse the downward spiral" and hold direct talks with PM Modi. "The sooner the better," she said. "The administration should focus on mending the rift with India and giving the relationship more high-level attention and resources--approaching what the U.S. devotes to China or Israel," she added. She further said that the US should not lose sight of what matters most, "our shared goals. To face China, the United States must have a friend in India." This comes after the US levied an ad valorem duty of 25 per cent on Indian goods, but has announced an additional 25 per cent tariff that will take effect from August 27, raising the total duty to 50 per cent.

‘India's Rise Doesn't Threaten Free World, Unlike China': Nikki Haley To Trump Amid 50% Tariffs
Nikki Haley urged Donald Trump to treat India as "prized free and democratic partner" and not like an adversary like China. Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has taken a critical view of Donald Trump's stance on India, stating that New Delhi must be treated like a 'prized free and democratic partner" and not like an 'adversary" like Beijing. She referred to the years of efforts put in to draw India closer to the United States and said that 'scuttling" this momentum would be a 'strategic disaster". In an opinion piece published in Newsweek, Haley also criticised Trump for not imposing additional tariffs on China for its imports of Russian oil and putting sanctions on India instead for doing the same, arguing that New Delhi's rise does not threaten the free world, 'unlike Communist-controlled China". 'India must be treated like the prized free and democratic partner that it is – not an adversary like China, which has thus far avoided sanctions for its Russian oil purchases, despite being one of Moscow's largest customers.

'Reverse the downward spiral': Nikki Haley urges US to strengthen ties with India to counter China; warns of 'strategic disaster'
File photo: Former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley (Picture credit: ANI) Former US Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, has called on Washington to strengthen its partnership with India, warning that undermining decades of progress in relations would be a 'strategic disaster. ' In an opinion piece for Newsweek, Haley described India as a 'prized free and democratic partner' and argued that its rise should be seen as a benefit to the free world, unlike Communist-controlled China, which she said poses a threat. 'Partnership between the US and India to counter China should be a no-brainer,' she wrote. Haley underlined that India alone has the capacity to produce goods at a scale comparable to China, making it vital for shifting critical supply chains away from Beijing. 'In the short term, India is essential in helping the United States move its critical supply chains away from China. While the Trump administration works to bring manufacturing back to our shores, India stands alone in its potential to manufacture at a China-like scale for products that can't be quickly or efficiently produced here, like textiles, inexpensive phones, and solar panels,' she wrote in Newsweek. She also pointed to India's increasing defence capabilities, deeper security ties in the Middle East, and its strategic location along China's trade and energy routes as key advantages for Washington. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo 'India's growing clout and security involvement in the Middle East could prove essential in helping to stabilise the region as America seeks to send fewer troops and dollars there,' she added. Haley stressed that India's economic rise is reshaping the global balance. As the world's fastest-growing major economy, soon set to overtake Japan, India represents 'the greatest obstacle to China's goal of reshaping the global order. Simply put, China's ambitions will have to shrink as India's power grows,' she wrote. Citing the 2020 Galwan Valley clash and ongoing border disputes, Haley said the US should help New Delhi stand firm against Beijing both militarily and economically. She also warned that letting a trade dispute escalate into lasting damage could play into China's hands. The former envoy urged US President Donald Trump to 'reverse the downward spiral' in ties with India by holding direct talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 'The sooner the better,' she wrote, while advising India to take Trump's concerns over Russian oil purchases seriously and work with Washington to find solutions. As per news agency ANI, Haley concluded that the US must not lose sight of its 'shared goals' with New Delhi. 'To face China, the United States must have a friend in India,' she said. The remarks come amid recent tensions after Washington imposed a 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, with an additional 25 per cent levy set to take effect on August 27, raising the total duty to 50 per cent.
