'India is not going to pick long -term safety by going with us ...': Economist Jeffrey Sachs on Trump's rates | 5 points

Well -known economist Jeffrey Sachs has criticized US policy against India, saying that “US politicians don’t care about India” and that he emphasizes that India is “a big power” that is unlikely to get a real safety advantage by aligning with the US in the quadrilateral against China, according to a Hindustan Times report. His remarks come following President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50% tariff on the import from India. Here are the top five quotes by Sachs: 1. “American politicians don’t care about India at all. Please understand that. India is not going to pick long -term safety by going with the United States in the quadrilateral against China,” Sachs said during an interview with Hindustan Times. 2. “India is a great power that has an independent status in the world. Everything Trump does on rates is unconstitutional,” he added. 3.. “When I was in the spring in India, I said, don’t count on a big trade relationship. What I hoped for was that it would be a good partner of the United States because it would be a way for the US, I would make it lovely, reduce the dependence on China and increase supply chains with India. I tried to explain it, don’t count on it, ‘says Sachs, as reported by HT. 4. When Professor Sachs was questioned about the relations of India and China, Professor Sachs said: “A good economic relationship between” the two countries “will be great for the economy of India” and are good for “a multipolar world that does not depend on the whims of the US.” 5. Sachs, which explains its rationale behind the advice, said that China is a much larger economy compared to the US, with international trade in the country much larger. After imposing a 50% tariff for Indian imports, US President Donald Trump excluded any trade negotiations with India until the tariff dispute is resolved. “No, not before we resolved it,” Trump said on Thursday during remarks in the Oval Office.
