Nikki Haley calls on Trump to treat India as 'esteemed, democratic' partner in the midst of rates, warn of 'strategic disaster'

As the rates against India threaten the relationship between India and the United States, former US ambassador to Un Nikki Haley President Donald Trump has asked to consider India as a ‘valued free and democratic partner’ to counter China, which would deprive a ‘strategic disaster’. In an opinion for Newsweek, Nikki Haley said that the rise of India did not threaten the free world, unlike, ‘Communist-controlled China’. Nikki Haley said: “India should be treated like the esteemed free and democratic partner – not an adversary like China, who has so far avoided sanctions for his Russian oil purchases, despite being one of Moscow’s largest customers.” “If that inequality does not require a closer look at the US -India relationship, the realities of hard power should be 25 years of momentum with the only country that can serve as a counterweight for Chinese dominance in Asia, a strategic disaster would be,” she said. “Unlike communist controlled China, the rise of a democratic India does not threaten the free world. US-India partnership to counter China should be a no-brainer,” she added. Nikki Haley has the ability of India to manufacture on a scale, comparable to China, which she believes can help the US to move off critical provision chains from Beijing. She said China’s ambitions would have to shrink as India’s power grows. “In the short term, India is essential to help the United States move its critical supply chains away from China. While the Trump administration is working to bring manufacturing back to our banks, India stands alone in its potential to produce on a China-like scale for products that cannot be produced quickly or efficiently, such as textiles, cheap phones and solar panels,” Opinion. “India’s growing claw and safety involvement in the Middle East may be essential to stabilize the region as America is trying to send fewer troops and dollars there. And India’s location in the middle of China’s vital trade and energy flow could complicate Beijing’s options in the event of a major conflict,” she added. (With agency input)
