Nikki Haley, former US Ambassador to the UN, has warned that relations between the US and India are near breaking point. Writing in Newsweek, she urged Donald Trump’s administration to treat India as a key democratic partner, not like China. She said US tariffs on India over Russian oil purchases risk damaging 25 years of progress. Haley stressed India’s importance in supply chains, defence, and Middle East stability. She added that India’s growing economy and young workforce are crucial to counter China’s rise. “Damaging ties with India would be a strategic disaster,” Haley warned. (PC: NDTV)
