New Delhi, July 31 -- Congress MP Karti Chidambaram on Thursday suggested that the government "keep its cool" and go ahead with negotiations amid chaos over the US imposing 25 per cent tariffs on India.

He said that Trump remains an unconventional politician, who is unorthodox, with whom normal diplomatic protocols don't work.

"Trump is not a conventional politician. Normal protocols of diplomacy and normal rules of intergovernmental relationships don't work. He is very unorthodox. We should just let him be as it is... We should not panic immediately. These are all opening positions in a negotiation. I hope the government maintains its cool, continues to negotiate and comes to an understanding with the US," Chidambaram told ANI.
