MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal on Friday rejected the remarks made by US President Donald Trump’s Senior Counsellor for Trade and Manufacturing, Peter Navarro, terming them “inaccurate and misleading.”
Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have seen the inaccurate and misleading statements made by Mr. Navarro and obviously we reject them. We have also spoken about it earlier. This relationship between the United States and India is very important for us. Both our countries share a comprehensive global strategic partnership, which is anchored in our shared interests, democratic values and robust people-to-people ties. This partnership has weathered several transitions and challenges. We remain focused on the substantive agenda that our two countries have committed to, and we hope that the relationship will continue to move forward based on mutual respect and shared interests. As you would have seen, I would draw your attention to a joint military exercise that is underway in Alaska. A few days ago, there was a 2+2 inter-sessional meeting… Talks between both countries is going on and we are committed to strengthening our partnership.”

On the issue of tariff, Randhir Jaiswal said, ” We continue to remain engaged with the US side on trade issues… We see the Quad as a valuable forum for discussion among the four member countries on shared interests on several issues. The leaders’ summit is scheduled through diplomatic consultations among the member countries… As far as the Ukraine conflict is concerned, we welcome all the recent efforts towards establishing peace in Ukraine. We hope that all parties will proceed constructively. India supports an early end to the conflict and the establishment of enduring peace.”
