Indo-US relations won’t go back to where they were; we must grit our teeth and bear it: Shyam Saran

Indo-US relations won't go back to where they were; we must grit our teeth and bear it: Shyam Saran, former Foreign Secretary, to Karan Thapar for The Wire. .......................................... In a tour d’horizon interview, where he discusses American pressure on India to stop buying Russian oil, both in terms of tariffs and sanctions, the prospects of a trade deal and the wider deterioration in India-US relations, which includes President Trump’s changed attitude to the Indo-Pacific and his changed relationship with Pakistan as well as the possibility of an improvement in US-China relations, India’s former Foreign Secretary and former Chairman of the National Security Advisory Board, Shyam Saran, says the real problem in Indo-US relations is that India is not as important a country to President Trump as it was to his predecessors or, indeed, even in his first term as president. He says: “Even if we get a trade deal in the aftermath of reducing Russian oil purchases I cannot see our relations with the US going back to where they were”. Mr. Saran agrees that we will have to grit out teeth, grin and bear it. Since this is a particularly comprehensive and forthright interview, I do not want to steal or impair Mr. Saran’s comments by seeking to paraphrase or precis them. He’s spoken widely and very thoughtfully on a range of issues that underlie Indo-US relations. If you want to understand where that relationship stands and what its likely prospects are in the foreseeable future – indeed over the next three years of President Trump’s presidency – I suggest you should see this interview.
