My exclusive interview with Congresswoman @RepDeborahRoss on India-U.S. relations. She described Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent visit to China for the SCO summit as a “wake-up call to the administration” and a “smart move” to remind Washington that India has options
IANS Exclusive Washington, US: On US President Donald Trump’s announcement about the resumption of India-US trade talks, Congresswoman Deborah Ross, co-chair of the Congressional Study Group on India (CSGI) said, "I'm baffled by it, as are so many other business people, and of course, as is India. But I'm very heartened that the dialogue has reopened. The last thing we need to do, after 30 years of a positive dialogue and a positive educational relationship, business relationship, we are the two largest democracies in the world, the last thing we should do is push India away from us to Russia and China..."
