India - US Tariff and Relations | News + Updates

[KingQamaR]

In 2019, the U.S. revoked India's GSP status — a move that was part of Trump’s broader strategy of using trade and tariffs as political weapons.

For Trump, these weren’t just economic tools. They were part of a much larger political and strategic playbook — aimed at forcing countries like Canada, India, and others to align more closely with U.S. interests, even if it meant bending to American dominance.

Personally, I believe that if the U.S. continues playing this kind of "trade dirty game," India won't budge even an inch. It will keep its independent foreign policy, especially in maintaining strong ties with Russia.

And in the end, the U.S. may eventually come around — offering its own exemptions and solutions once it realizes that pressure tactics don’t always work.

Then no need to panic right? Let that tariffs stays and see what happens

How can we become a tool for USA against China please explain?

They knew it you have disputes with China so they chose you contain China they are giving you their latest military tech to stand against China

Look dude USA have actually blockages China from South Korea to India, these countries either have disputes with China like Vietnam or on side of of the west

Only China don't has any blockage from west is north of China (Mongolia) and north-west (central Asian republics)

So you're not innocent country at all

I said that China is actually a tool for India.

India has been strategically gaining benefits from the West by leveraging the China threat narrative. People often say India is being used as a tool against China, but the reality is a bit more complex.

In truth, it’s about mutual interests — the strategic goals of India and the West happen to align when it comes to countering China.

However, when it comes to Russia, the situation is different. India's interests don't align with the West on that front — and that’s where tensions and misunderstandings in the relationship begin to emerge.

India first need to correct its GDP by abandoning Modi formula implemented post 2015. Once you have realistic picture of your economy, only then you can improve it.

$1 trillion over estimation, on paper GDP which world is taking in to account.

You have been caught lying many times earlier too. It was on another thread when you were posting fake pictures of damage to Indian bases and now this table.

World bank as well as IMF data on Indian GDP doesn’t match with any of the figures quoted by you.

Sindoor was an exam test for India by the Americans for India to demonstrate that it had an effective military that could take on Pakistan effectively and therefore had the potential to be used against China.

India fluffed the exam test and got a "F-", and now the USA is slowly turning down the dial on its investment in India.

USA is looking to try and restore a little of its relationship with Pakistan, that is of use to the USA.

I don't think anyone should get to over keen on the change, the actual change will be small but it is better than not having that relationship. It all helps.

All those 100s of billions the americans have invested in india in order for it to become a bulwark against China have all come to NOTHING. americans are not too happy with this.

That is an extremely ignorant take. "Americans" are not some monolithic group. Thousands of American entities have invested, each with their own motive. Almost all of those entities care only about their own profit, not about geopolitical BS like being a bulwark against China or anyone else. As long as their investment makes money , they will be happy. The same is true of the billions Chinese companies have invested in India. If the Indian government allowed them, they would invest even more if there were an opportunity for profit.

No, Sindoor caused — the U.S. has always given strategic importance to Pakistan because of its geographic location.

From Washington’s perspective, investing in Pakistan has often been more beneficial, as Pakistan plays a key role in three critical areas:

1. China
2. Managing the situation in Afghanistan
3. Potentially useful in any military plans involving Iran

In contrast, India is primarily seen as a counterweight to China — it doesn’t offer the same regional leverage across multiple fronts.

During the recent Iran-Israel tensions, the U.S. once again realized Pakistan’s importance. In any escalation with Iran, air bases or access to Pakistani airspace could become crucial — and historically, Pakistan tends to cooperate with the U.S. when the right incentives are offered.

While the U.S. has been trying to position India as a strategic partner against China, the returns haven’t met their expectations. That’s why we’re now seeing noticeable shifts in recent U.S. foreign policy—reassessing old partnerships and rebalancing priorities.
