A "narrowly drawn" vision of America first policy that pits the country's growth against opportunities of its partners like India will create an "antagonistic approach", a top former US diplomat has said. She was speaking at a global business forum organised here this month in partnership with the Asia Society Policy Institute. "So an America first policy that is written large, broad and inclusive talks about how America advances as we partner with and grow with other nations," she said. "A narrowly drawn vision of America first that pits America s growth against opportunities of our friends and partners around the world is going to create a much more antagonistic approach," she added. US President Donald Trump has put 'America first' at the centre of his policies to focus on American interests and national security.
