Live from Singapore on BBC World News — The Asia Group’s Nisha Biswal offers sharp insight on the growing trade tensions between the U.S. and India.
“The U.S. and India were on the cusp of a historic trade agreement,” observes Biswal, who is a former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia — but new tariffs and public pressure risk derailing years of progress in U.S.-India relations.
“It’s a lose-lose proposition . . . not only might this blow up the trade relationship, it could have lasting damage to the strategic partnership as well.”
