Jaishankar, during a session titled 'India’s rise and role in the world' at the Chatham House think tank in London on Wednesday evening, said that US under Donald Trump is moving towards multipolarity which "suits India's interests" and that the two nations have agreed for a bilateral trade pact. The EAM made the remark when he was asked about his stance on the first few weeks of the new US government and Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, news agency PTI reported.

"We see a president and an administration which, in our parlance, is moving towards multipolarity and that is something that suits India," he said.

"From President Trump's perspective, the one big shared enterprise that we have is the Quad, which is an understanding where everybody pays their fair share… There are no free riders involved. So that's a good model which works," he added. 

Jaishankar Discusses Efforts To Tackle 'Trafficking And Extremism'

During his visit to the United Kingdom, Jaishankar held discussions with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy among other senior leaders.

In his Tuesday meeting with UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, the External Affairs Minister said that the two leaders engaged in discussions on flow of talent and joint efforts between the two countries to curb "extremism and trafficking".

After the meeting, Jaishankar took to X and said: "We discussed the flow of talent, people to people exchanges, and joint efforts in tackling trafficking and extremism."

Jaishankar is on a six-day visit to the UK and Ireland. He is scheduled for talks with his Irish counterpart, Simon Harris, on Thursday.
