Trump's tariff threat brought canada closer to India!
After the announcement of the imposition of reciprocal tariff by US President donald trump, there has been a stir in the whole world. Many countries have opposed it but trump is not ready to back down from his decision. Meanwhile, the relations between india and canada, which have deteriorated on the issue of Khalistan, can improve on this matter. Both the countries are taking steps towards improving their relations.
In fact, this tariff, which will come into effect from April 2, 2025, can cause economic shocks to both india and Canada. Due to this, both the countries have decided to increase trade cooperation so that the loss caused by US trade dependence can be compensated.
Change in India-Canada diplomatic relations
In 2023, India-Canada relations soured when former prime minister Justin Trudeau accused india of killing Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. After this, both the countries expelled each other's diplomats. Now, after the new prime minister Mark Carney came to power, canada is trying to improve relations with India.
Plan to jointly deal with US tariffs
Trump's new tariffs can cause economic losses to both india and Canada. According to a Bloomberg report, india and canada are devising a strategy to reduce the impact of US tariffs by forgetting their differences. According to Canadian officials, better trade relations with india are a priority for Canada.
Allegations of election interference can increase tensions again
However, amid efforts to improve relations between india and canada, canada has given a new controversial statement. A Canadian intelligence officer has claimed that india can interfere in Canada's elections. This statement can again increase tensions between the two countries.
Will the India-Canada partnership be successful?
Influenced by Trump's policies, trade relations between india and canada may strengthen, but it will be interesting to see how long this friendship will last due to the Khalistani issue and political allegations.
