Trump Should Be Invited As Republic Day Guest: US-India Forum Head To NDTV

India-US ties remain strong despite recent political challenges, with bilateral trade talks nearing completion and American companies shifting supply chains away from China. Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), stated that the relationship is moving in the right direction and has a growth story. He expressed hope for Donald Trump's participation as the chief guest at India's Republic Day celebrations, noting that he should spend more time in the country to better understand it. Aghi also highlighted the continued trend of American companies de-risking from China, with India playing a pivotal role in this process. He believes that if the trade agreement is finalized soon, the target of $500 billion in bilateral trade by 2030 remains realistic.
