'I believe we will have some kind of a trade deal in the next three months,' said Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, while speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Aghi noted that despite shifting goalposts and the weaponisation of tariffs by the US administration, negotiations are reaching the final stages with a focus on reciprocal trade terms and agriculture. Addressing concerns regarding anti-immigrant rhetoric, Aghi highlighted that Indian-Americans constitute only 1.5 per cent of the US population but generate a significant 6 per cent of its GDP. He attributed recent negative messaging to the unprecedented economic success of the community, noting that Indian immigrants enter the US at the top of the economic ladder rather than the low end. Aghi emphasised that India remains excluded from visa restriction lists, signaling a continued strategic partnership despite the 'MAGA' base's social media activity.

In an exclusive interview with India Today, World Economic Forum President Borge Brende hailed India as the fastest growing of the large economies in the world, contributing to 20% of the overall global growth.

In this Special Report, Gaurav Sawant details the high-profile visit of UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to New Delhi for a summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The leaders signed landmark agreements involving a strategic defence partnership, a long-term LNG supply deal, and cooperation in civil nuclear energy, space infrastructure, and artificial intelligence. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri characterized the meeting as substantive, highlighting the geopolitical implications amidst West Asian tensions. The report also covers the Bangladesh Cricket Board's proposal to swap groups for the upcoming ICC tournament to avoid playing in India, citing security concerns. Experts including Sushant Sareen and Vikrant Gupta debate if this move is a political maneuver by the interim government, noting that Scotland could replace Bangladesh if they refuse to travel.

In this episode of India First, security expert and author Ray Locker joins former BBC correspondent David Willey to discuss the escalating tensions between the United States and Europe. Ray Locker delivers a scathing critique of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, stating, 'He's a total lunatic, and a convicted felon, and he attacked Venezuela, and kidnapped .' Locker argues that there is no strategic necessity for the U.S. to possess Greenland and warns that the NATO alliance is in 'critical condition' due to Trump's erratic behavior. The discussion covers the potential for a 'trade bazooka' from Europe, with the EU considering tariffs on $108 billion of U.S. goods in response to Trump's proposed 10% levy. David Willey notes that while Europeans find Trump's style 'abhorrent,' they may attempt to wait out the administration until the midterm elections. Locker concludes that Trump’s tariff policies are actively damaging the American economy, leading to lost manufacturing jobs and higher costs for consumers.
