Donald Trump’s move towards multipolarity suits India: Jaishankar

LONDON: The US administration under President Donald Trump is moving towards multipolarity which suits India’s interests, and the two nations have agreed on the need for a bilateral trade pact, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar said.

During a session titled ‘India’s rise and role in the world’ at the Chatham House think tank in London on Wednesday evening, the EAM was asked about his thoughts on the first few weeks of the new US government and, specifically, about Trump’s reciprocal tariffs.

“We see a president and an administration which, in our parlance, is moving towards multipolarity and that is something that suits India,” said Jaishankar, who is on a six-day visit to the UK and Ireland. PTI
