In a powerful meeting at the White House on February 13, 2025, President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came face to face. This event caught everyone's eyes, as it raised questions about a trade barrier that India proudly protects. This barrier has been a big part of India’s Make in India initiative, which aims to boost local manufacturing and business. This Thursday, Menaka Doshi brings us a fresh look at the dynamic between two countries as they navigate the tricky waters of trade and politics. Trump's approach might seem like a favor to Make in India, but it also pushes India to reconsider how it handles trade policies, especially those that the world watches closely. The Make in India campaign has been a symbol of India’s rising power and dreams of economic greatness. But such trade barriers can sometimes slow down global business or create friction with trade partners like the US. Trump's visit and the discussions could lead to big changes, or at the very least, bring these hidden issues into the spotlight. Menaka Doshi keeps an eye on billionaires, businesses, and bold policies behind India’s economic story. Her reports help us understand these fast-changing forces shaping the country’s future. Stay tuned to see how this high-profile meeting might rewrite the rules of trade between two giant economies.
