India should avoid making early concessions in its ongoing trade negotiations with the US and instead adopt a patient approach, as Washington's current negotiating strategy relies on strategic uncertainty and issue-linking to maximise leverage, according to an SBI Ecowrap research report released on Friday.
The report, as quoted by ANI, said the US administration is using uncertainty not only in trade but also across issues including NATO, Iran, China and Greenland, making ambiguity itself a negotiating tool. In game theory terms, it described Washington as "preserving incomplete information about the 'type' of bargaining."
