India is keen to preserve its relations with the U.S. but not at any cost: Tirumurti

β€œWhile it is true that President Trump has disrupted the trajectory of India-U.S. relations, I doubt that the U.S. tariffs nudged us closer to China in any substantive way,” Mr. Tirumurti says


The U.S. has to decide first where they see India fit into their scheme of things, says T.S. Tirumurti, India’s former Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the U.N., New York. In an interview with The Hindu, Mr. Tirumurti spoke about the foreign policy challenges and opportunities India is facing in an uncertain world, including its ties with China, the U.S. and Russia. Edited excerpts.
