Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of U.S. National Intelligence, is currently visiting India for the Raisina Dialogue. Before attending, Gabbard candidly discussed the India-U.S. relationship and trade tariffs in an interview.
Gabbard noted that feedback from Indian officials indicates growing opportunities within India. She is pleased to observe a proactive perspective on trade tariffs, suggesting a focus on enhancing economic ties rather than dwelling on negatives.
Gabbard confidently stated that Prime Minister Modi is committed to the best interests of India's economy and its people, while likewise, President Trump prioritizes America's economic and national interest.
She remarked that both PM Modi and President Trump are progressing toward effective solutions, with sensible leaders at the helm. Discussions on tariffs between the two nations are happening at the highest levels, and Gabbard is personally excited about her visit to India.
What is the Raisina Dialogue?

Organized by the Ministry of External Affairs and the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), it is named after Raisina Hills where the Ministry's office is located. The event is an annual affair that provides a platform for global leaders and policymakers to discuss international issues.
This year's Raisina Dialogue theme is ‘Kala-Çakra: People, Peace, and the Planet’. Among the 20 participating foreign ministers, 11 are from Europe, including Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.
