India, Pakistan and US: The Delicate Dance, and Why India Must Be Aware That US Will Focus on Its Interests

The United Nations General Assembly brought world policy makers and leaders to New York last week. Imran Khan of Pakistan and Narendra Modi of India were there. Of course, US President Donald Trump was there — he was the central cast. President Trump met with Khan and Modi bilaterally in New York.

Before the UN meetings, Trump met with Modi in Houston where 50,000 Indian Diaspora had gathered to celebrate and listen to Modi.

After all these meetings, the cheese did not move much.

The Endless Roller Coaster of US-China Trade Relations, and Huawei

The United States and China have now been in what appears to be endless trade dispute with no clear path to move forward.  While this has been longer than anyone had initially anticipated, it is not surprising given that the dispute involves important, structural matters. China argues that the United States is adopting a discriminatory posture towards China, and points to banning of Hua Wei equipment and service as evidence of this.  The United States argues that China is protecting its market and not letting American products and services into China.  The US also argues that China is letting violations of Intellectual Property Rights occur without any consequences to that actor(s.)

 Whatever be the arguments, it is now time for compromise and resolution.
