WASHINGTON: When Robert Lighthizer, who served as President Donald Trump’s trade representative between 2017 and 2021, prepared for trade negotiations with Indian counterparts, he kept the biographies of 15 Indian billionaires on his desk. He believed that while India had an “extremely strong professional bureaucracy” in all areas of government, it was also “unusual in the extent to which oligarchs influence government policy” and read the books to know their interests as a predictor of the Indian government’s positions.
