Tharoor reiterated that his concern is that India’s relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important, and that "we need to support our negotiators".

S hashi Tharoor responded with a cryptic reply after he was questioned about Rahul Gandhi agreeing with Donald Trump's “dead economy” jibe, stating that the Lok Sabha LoP “has his reasons for saying so.”
