CNN reporter Will Ripley praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent talks with US President Donald Trump, calling them a “masterclass” in negotiation. He mentioned how both Modi and Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba had successful meetings with Trump, showing other world leaders how to effectively negotiate with him.
Ripley highlighted that Modi may have faced pressure during these talks, worrying that Trump would announce tariffs that could embarrass him back in India. However, after their meeting, they managed to announce what seemed like the best results for both countries.
Just hours before his meeting with Modi, Trump mentioned a plan for new tariffs, but they wouldn’t take effect right away. In the past, Trump has criticized India for having very high tariffs, even saying it hurt companies like Harley Davidson, which struggled to sell their bikes in India due to tariffs.
Earlier this month, Trump imposed significant extra tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China too. But he later delayed the tariffs on Canada and Mexico for a month.
