Derek Grossman, Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern California, tells Leigh-Ann Gerrans that tensions between the US and India are escalating as the Trump administration moves to impose tariffs — officially over India’s purchase of discounted Russian oil, but also fueled by personal grievances between Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The interview unpacks the mix of geopolitics and personality clashes driving the rift, including Trump’s frustration over Modi’s refusal to back his Nobel Peace Prize bid and Modi’s anger over Trump’s closer ties with Pakistan.
