Navtej Sarna, former ambassador to the United States of America, who also served in Washington during the first Trump presidency, says that Donald Trump has “broken” India’s trust in America and scepticism is back. Sarna says the optimism that used to prevail in the relationship, what he calls “the positive unquestionable narrative”, is no longer true.

Sarna says India has responded to the changed relationship with the US with, what he calls, “dignified restraint”. However, he adds “we cannot wait with bated breath" for the relationship to change. As he puts it, “it’s not just Trump, the United States itself is in political churn."
