The much awaited India–U.S. trade agreement announced by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi drew strong endorsement from Indian-American business leaders and mixed but largely constructive reactions from policy veterans, with supporters calling it a breakthrough and former officials urging caution as details remain unclear.
Venture capitalist and Republican fundraiser Asha Jadeja Motwani said the deal was widely anticipated within Trump administration circles and described the outcome as a major success. “The trade deal was expected… there was a very clear sense that a trade deal was happening in February,” she told IANS in an interview. She was surprised it came even sooner, she noted.
