Shashi Tharoor discusses the recent Modi-Trump meeting, stressing India’s concerns over seafarer safety and the need for serious follow-through in India-US relations. Tharoor says peace will last only if neither side appears to have surrendered more.
He adds that it is now on America to prove good faith, arguing that India cannot be satisfied by a ministerial QUAD gathering alone. He also says personal bonhomie between leaders is important, but it cannot replace serious national engagement and policy outcomes.
Tharoor also backs PM Modi’s open statement at the G7, saying the Prime Minister’s message on protecting seafarers was well taken and important. The discussion is focusing on what comes next: tangible action, a possible trade deal, stronger maritime safety guarantees and a potential presidential visit to India.
