Trump imposes 50% tariff on India for buying Russian oil??! - Page 8

Hey I read between the lines.

US is controlled by lobbies, most of the lobbies are irritated by unyielding Indian state.

Oil & arms - cheap Russian oil & improving Indian defense exports & posture.

Agri & Pharma - GMO access ban for 1.4 billion consumer market.

Big tech - digital data residency bills & tax loopholes for big tech closure.

Banking & finance - UPI and digital paymevis disrupted visa & swift banking system.

Op sindoor laid bare american fighter jets failure to launch.

US lobby in do or die situation DJT is their naked king.

Tariff war is testing waters, tariff talks inconclusive, Indian manufacturing thrives, india wins, gains true independence.

BRICS strengthens, dollar reserve currency hedge status gone.

DJT gains crypto foothold through corrupt & failed pak state in all this.

This man is gonna trigger a global economic crash or something close to it.

Because of USD being default global currency, rest of the world is paying US debt basically.

And US and Europe trade backdoors with Russia still and China continues to bypass US sanctions and buy oil from Iran.

Tarffis are taxes on US consumers.

India should stand strong. Trump’s a bully and his administration is full of anti-India xenophobes.

Exactly, the global system is way too dependent on the dollar and it gives the US leverage over everyone else. Their double standards on trade and sanctions make things worse.

India needs to focus on self-reliance and strategic partnerships instead of giving in to pressure. Standing firm is the only way forward.

On Monday, Trump wrote: "What few people understand is that we do very little business with India, but they do a tremendous amount of business with us. In other words, they sell us massive amounts of goods, their biggest "client," but we sell them very little - Until now a totally one sided relationship, and it has been for many decades."
