The decision to punish India for buying Russian oil while finalizing the oil agreement with Pakistan by US President Donald Trump has reduced the lack of trust in New Delhi. In his analysis, Zakaria said that it could prove to be a significant turn in relations between the US and India. In an analysis on ‘Trump 2.0’s biggest foreign policy mistake’, Zakaria said that America’s strategic initiative towards India has been bilateral in the last 25 years, but cautioned diplomatic progress has been “destroyed” by Trump 2.0 in a few weeks. Meanwhile, he argued that Bharat could start making distance from Washington and re -examine his global alliances, which have become multilaterally under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

During his schedule on CNN, Zakaria said that Indians believe that the US has shown its true form, it is incredible, and is willing to cruel the cruelty with what he calls his friend. Naturally they will feel that they have to keep their bets safe. Russia will have to be closely maintained and compromises with China will also have to be made. Zakaria said that India has come close to the United States in the last two decades, which has followed the policy of long -term non -alignment, including former President Bill Clinton’s historic visit in 2000, followed by the recognition of the George W Bush administration to behave India like Britain, France and China and signed the historic atomic agreement led by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Zakaria further said that former President Barack Obama’s inclination towards Asia and his administration to support India to make India a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council also proved to be a significant turn in the relationship between the two countries. Explaining in detail about Trump’s first term and Biden’s President’s tenure, Zakaria said Trump also adopted and promoted his personal relations with Prime Minister Modi. President Biden carried forward Trump’s legacy and established better cooperation in defense and economic fields. India started planning to cooperate with the US in the manufacture of everything from fighter aircraft to computer chips.
