Jason Miller, a political lobbyist whose firm was contracted by India, met US President “in-action” Donald Trump and members of his administration at a time when relations between New Delhi and Washington are strained over US tariffs, which came into effect on August 27.The India-US bilateral ties have downgraded since Trump announced 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports citing New Delhi’s continued purchase of Russian oil, accusing it of indirectly funding Moscow’s war in Ukraine. New Delhi has described the move as “unfair, unjustified and unreasonable”.advertisementMiller, who leads SHW Partners LLC, was engaged by the Indian mission in Washington earlier this year under a reported one-year agreement worth USD 1.8 million.While he did not specify the agenda of his recent meetings, Miller shared photographs on social media, including one alongside Trump.
