During an interactive discussion at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs in the US, Rahul Gandhi commented on the Indian government's stance regarding President Donald Trump's tariff decision, saying, "We don't know how is it responding because they (the government) don't tell us these things."
Donald Trump is negotiating, and he is well within his rights to negotiate, Gandhi said, adding that "we should negotiate right back."
"We should understand what our strengths are, (and) what we need, and we should not compromise in areas that are detrimental to us. He (Trump) is well within his rights to say that he wants to change the tariff structure, and it's a negotiation; it's fine. I think we are more than capable enough to negotiate ourselves a decent deal," he said.
The US and India need to show how they can produce effectively in a democratic environment, he added.
