The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has strongly condemned the recent statements made by White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro, terming them as false and misleading. Addressing a press conference, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that we have seen the false and misleading statements made by Peter Navarro and we reject them.
Earlier, while defending US President Donald Trump's 50% tariff, Peter Navarro had made a controversial allegation that 'Brahmins' were profiting at the expense of the Indian people. On this, a spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs said that India-US relations are very important to the government.
Randhir Jaiswal told the press conference that the India-US relationship is very important. This comprehensive global strategic partnership is based on shared interests, democratic values, and strong people-to-people ties.
He said that despite challenges and changes, this partnership has remained strong and both countries are pursuing a strong bilateral agenda. He further said that we hope that this relationship will continue to grow based on mutual respect and shared interests. Referring to the ongoing joint military exercises in Alaska and the recent 2+2 inter-sessional meeting, he said that these initiatives are a testament to the strong partnership between the two countries.
The Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson also said that talks are ongoing between the two countries and emphasized that India is committed to strengthening its partnership with the US.
