NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and newly elected US President Donald Trump will enjoy a strong, positive relationship, a highpowered panel of experts said. If I am President Trump meeting PM Modi, I would say here is a man doing tax reform, who is trying to motivate business expansion in India and that is what I am doing in the US,” he said.Cheney said that both Modi and Trump have similar interests at heart and a personal rapport would be very important.“In a personal setting, President Trump can be a very warm and charming individual. They are also strengthening the productivity of US people by coaching and training them,” he said.Bürkner expressed confidence that the issue would be quickly resolved. “I am pretty sure that we will get some solutions beyond a simple reducing of visas by 50% or so forth. They have moved very, very aggressively,” Cheney said.Feldstein said that it was critical for the US and its friends to be seen as militarily strong.“The critical thing for the US and its friends and allies is to maintain enough military competence so that no future Chinese leader would want to challenge us or challenge our friends,” he said.
