tariffs

The Guardian’s latest sepoy sermon by Mukul Kesavan reduces India’s dignified defiance of American bullying into a ‘failure’, proving once again that for brown sepoys, Western arrogance is wisdom and Indian sovereignty is hubris.

Edward Price, adjunct professor at New York University, has urged Trump to reverse tariff policy on India, and even apologies to New Delhi.

Richard D Wolff called Navarro “not the sharpest knife in the drawer”, asserting that anyone who has a trade relation with Russia is in some way making money off that trade because that is why trade happens.

Instead of giving in to pressure, India is mending its ties with  Russia and China. President Donald Trump has accused India of funding Russia’s war in Ukraine by buying discounted crude oil from Moscow.

The Department of Posts on Sunday announced a complete suspension of all mails to the USA over president Donald Trump’s tariff policy

India has saved over $17 billion since 2022 by purchasing cheaper Russian crude. More importantly, its imports have played a stabilising role in the global market.

There are no sanctions on Russian oil by the United States, G7 countries and the European Union (EU), unlike Iranian oil and Venezuelan oil. India thus did not violate any international norms through its purchase of Russian oil, as it adhered to the price cap imposition.

Trump's approval rating, which is an indicator of how Americans view his performance, hit a record low in his second term, highlighting the dissatisfaction of American with his policies.

PM Modi has chosen silence over spectacle, sidestepping Trump’s repeated requests for calls that might be spun into self-serving boasts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit India in December amid rising U.S. pressure. As Trump doubles tariffs on Indian goods over Russian oil imports, New Delhi has defended its energy security, strengthening ties with Moscow despite Western criticism and sanctions threats.
