NEW DELHI:
Newly appointed US President Donald Trump, whose rise to power has sent ripples across the world, will on Tuesday call Prime Minister Narendra Modi at around 11 pm (IST) and will have a brief discussion which is expected to last about half hour. This is going to be the first conversation between both the leaders after Trump’s inauguration on January 20.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding Trump’s foreign policy as
he batted for ‘bringing back jobs’ in US from the other countries during his campaign, among other issues. While some claim that the US President’s focus will primarily be on the manufacturing sector which will impact China, there are others who anticipate a hit on the IT jobs which are largely outsourced to Indian firms by US companies.
The Republican President, who has replaced Barack Obama, has also been vocal when it comes to his ‘stern’ plans to ‘exterminate’ radical Islamic
terrorism. The issue of terrorism, primarily cross-border terror, is of an equal concern to India. Thus, it may be discussed during the brief talk between both the leaders.
In his first ever address to the media after Trump’s inauguration, his spokesman Sean Spicer warned China over the ongoing South China Sea dispute, reiterating US’ commitment to defend it’s interests in the area. The US-China and US-Pakistan relations after Donald Trump is also something India will be keeping an eye on.
