India - US Tariff and Relations | News + Updates

[Dalit]

US has never been a reliable partner with any nation ever barring Israel.

Canada was their bum-chum. Look at the tariff imposed on them. Europe was their closest ally and look at what Trump and Vance have said against them.
Pakistan has also faced the same music multiple times. They have been used and thrown away so many times but some folks are still gloating over this preferential tariff of 19% to them.

India has decided to take it slow with tariff situation. The cost of capitulating to US pressure and allowing them farm sector access is much higher than 25% imposed on us.

Take it as slow as you like. You are not a genius in this situation. The writing is on the wall. India will have to accept US demands. No ifs and buts.

Previous Pakistani government and major political parties in Pakistan revered Indian independent foreign policy. They even tried emulating it, Jaisanker is a household name synonymous with highly curative English literature in Pakistan.

Couple of years ago some people from Karachi were interviewed and they were wishing to have a leader like Modi. NWFP CM is helping Indians out with FATF.

Trump cannot win against India

The writing is on the wall, but you being a stubborn Indian think you can outplay the Trump administration. You cannot. You will have to make concessions and the Americans will arm wrestle you to make sure.

This writing is on walls of only those people who are hoping like hell that India goes down.
Same people were quoting the same walls when Pannu incident had happened with Canada, CATSA sanctions were possible after S400 purchase, Indian navy personnel were arrested in Qatar. The list is very long and I am sure that you would have been one of those who would have declared death of India after each of these incidents.

This time it could be different, but, going by the past performance, chances of your wall with all the writings going doing with a bang seem a little higher.

The funny part is, when, all such people vanish in thin air after they are proven wrong.

That remains to be seen now with the incoming tarrifs.

yes.
- we only made 150 billion a year on software for 20+ years
- we only made 10s of billions in oil savings from Russia over last 4 years
- we will only be exporting all iphones bought by US customers who will pay 20% extra for their purchases

my my- how much damage India has taken in comparison to Pak because we did not listen to your foreign policy advice!!!

We’ll weigh all sides, take enough time and if at all make concessions that serve our interests, not jump at every demand like duty free market access, oil blocks, minerals, secret deals etc etc

You think all this preferential treatment will remain once you start irritating uncle Sam? Dude, you still don't get it. You will have to downgrade your relationship with Russia, Iran and the likes. That is what Uncle Sam demands from you.

Your comparisons with Pakistan doesn't mean shit in this situation.

You mean, like Pakistan shipping in more expensive oil from halfway around the world instead of just across the border? You guys must have a lot of spare cash lying around.

Dude, India is irrelevant to us. You are not that important to us.

It just so happens to be that Trump is testing you real good. We are just enjoying the beautiful moment that everyone had predicted.

wow, after downgrading relationship with Russia and Iran and all our other friends we will have to face the fact that we only made 1.5 Trillion or so in the last decade

Oh my god!!!

You are still that anti-China containment chump. Don't forget your role. Remember that when you signed the deal with the Americans. You think that you can fool Trump by being a part of QUAD and BRICS? Who are you even kidding here LOL

We’re just laughing at how quick you guys folded, gave away oil, minerals, duty free access, maybe even your Kidney and still ended up with a 19% tariff.

After a certain point, if you need someone to hold your hands, you're not really that powerful or independent. The geopolitical reality is constantly changing the good guys today are bad guys tomorrow. Staying neutral allows a degree of independence.

Neutrality doesn't really exist in this world, unless you don't have to do anything with both of the parties.

Yes,

US gave us a role and told us 'slave don't forget your place' and to humiliate us threw a cheque of 1.5 trillion and contracts for iPhones
