Amid growing fears of protectionism in the US commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday that American President-elect Donald Trump is a "friend of India" and he expected bilateral relations to only blossom

We should let the new govt (in the US) come and take charge and express their formal and official views but to the best of my understanding of the situation and my own experience in working with the Trump administration ... I don't see any problem whatsoever

During his election campaign Trump had flagged concerns about high tariffs in India and kept it and Brazil just one notch below China, against which he has announced his intent to act.

Goyal said that Modi has worked with three administrations and "we will again work with the Trump administration" and ties have only improved.

The minister also expressed "deep disappointment" with the European Union's "unilateral" green economy regulations saying they are unfair and violate the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities".

Having said that I strongly raised this issue with my French counterpart and did express India's deep disappointment on the unilateral regulations and many new regulations that the European Union has come out with which are not acceptable to anybody in the world.

Goyal also criticised the Opposition for disrupting Parliament and maligning the country's image.

At the root of this is India's economic success story and we need to dig deeper to understand any changes that have occurred. The journey to strengthen the economy has been remarkable with efforts across sectors.
