LIVE: Trump Sanctions Chabahar, Wants Bagram Back: Setback for India? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
In his latest trade offensive against India, US President Donald Trump has now revoked the sanction waiver linked to the Chabahar Port project in Iran. Situated in Iran’s southern city of Chabahar, this port is a key link between Afghanistan and Central Asia, which India can access while bypassing Pakistan. The project was excluded from the US sanctions that Trump imposed on Iran during his first term in 2018, but the waiver has now been removed. India has since made significant investments worth over $120mn in the Chabahar Port project, all of which can now face the wrath of US sanctions.
Meanwhile, Trump has also shown interest in reclaiming the Bagram military base in Afghanistan — a move sternly opposed by the ruling Taliban. This base was deserted by the Americans after Trump recalled US troopers from the conflict-riddled nation, during his first term.
So, why is Donald Trump showing an increased interest in the Indian subcontinent? What’s behind this series of developments in the Indian neighbourhood, including in Bangladesh, Nepal, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan? And, should India be worried about a possible US meddling in the region?
On Vantage tonight, Palki Sharma breaks it down for you.
