Trump imposes 50% tariff on India for buying Russian oil??! - Page 3

Trump & his entre team are delusional.

Guess it's time for these us politicians to retire & let other capable people to run the country not ruin it.

If India wanted to negotiate on terrifs, we would have done it by now. It's humiliating for them to accept the fact that India doesn't care & we have just started retaliating.

Our pm went to USA asked Americans to vote for Donald Trump. This means foreign policy of present govt is utter failure. USA has neither permanent friends nor enemies. USA work on self interest historically.

It's Indian govt foreign policy failure while dealing with USA. The cost will be paid by normal citizens like us who will bear unemployment and inflation

But we must admit that, it is a failure of Indian foreign policy, especially in the context of Modi’s “Howdy Modi” event 2019 in Houston, where he openly endorsed Trump with the slogan 'Abki Baar Trump Sarkar.' Despite the optics of personal friendship, India could not prevent the U.S. from withdrawing GSP benefits or imposing tariffs.

The endorsement of Trump was seen as compromising India’s long tradition of balancing powers and maintaining neutrality.

Tariffs are often driven by America’s internal economic concerns, protectionist lobbies, and political compulsions (like supporting U.S. farmers or manufacturers).

Even other allies face tariffs when U.S. interests dictate them e.g., the EU, Canada, Mexico have also faced similar measures.

It's Trump, not the US. It's so funny that before the US elections, so many Indians including Modi and BJP were openly supporting Trump over Biden.

I am not well versed in international news but one thing I noticed in my late night foreign news channel viewing - Russian today, france 24, al.jazeera etc

These anchors in these channels can't keep a straight face while talking about usa news. They keep smirking or laughing and the reporters on ground also do the same thing. They must be thinking what a clown why we are wasting our degree in him.. but then this is the loser people elected so what can others say

Trump has a pattern. HE WILL SHOUT ON TWITTER THAT TARRIF IS HELPING, then he will put it in hold then we won't see. This is what they call on Hindi gidar dhamkiya...anyways india will survive just fine. Counties are making their own nexus removing usa and good for them. Usa was built on immigrants and now they think they are invincible - it takes a decade to ruin everything

The indian right wingers deserve this after ass kissing Trump for years. Every group who supported Trump is being f*cked over as they rightfully deserve. FAFO

Trump probably showed them haseen sapney and then pulled the rug under them. Won't be first time 🤣

See everyone is screwed this time. His own supporters, haters, all representatives, NASA, every single person. India is like last on the list

See the reasons he says -- hike in tariff is a measure to punish India as their money fuels Russian invasion on Ukraine

But reality India buys oil to feed its own economy and people

What trump does ? Sits,dines and aids people like Netanyahu whose administration has killed lakhs of people in palestine and is aiming to drive them away from their land and build what ? Resorts and golf courts on their tombstone?

Except for Fox news people his own MaGas despise him now..he should do one noble deed, bully all the countries and bring unity among rest of the world

Don't how the people who implement his policies can work in such a dynamic environment that changes every day according to his mood.

One Phillipines minister had put out a nice video about Trump.

Rosy, if possible, please share that video.

I am not finding that now. Will try to search surely.

That's a really interesting point. It does seem like a common trope in a lot of novels. It might be that authors feel like it creates a stronger contrast and allows the male lead to be a sort of "savior" figure, but it can also make the female lead feel less relatable. It's nice when characters, both male and female, have their own flaws and strengths; it makes the story feel more authentic and the characters more human.
