Former U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley emphasized that the United States needs India as a democratic ally to counterbalance China. Amid escalating trade tensions and new tariffs targeting India’s Russian oil imports, Haley urged New Delhi to consider President Trump's concerns seriously and to collaborate with the White House to find a resolution. She called for a high-level dialogue—specifically a direct meeting between Trump and Prime Minister Modi—“the sooner the better,” to reverse the downward spiral and reinforce strategic cooperation between the two democracies.
