What the heck are they referring to? India is not our ally.

Oh they told us the tariffs couldn’t affect India. But we are their largest trade target accounting for half their exports. Let’s see.
As for being an “ally” unfortunately India has a long standing relationship with the USSR / Russia.
Meanwhile, Europe has been violating the sanctions on Russian energy all along...
We need to put a tariff on India’s IT services sector, as they have far too deep tentacles into our defense contractors security systems. I know this as I work in a company that has been Space Force contracts for a few aspects of the Golden Dome and many of our IT services are outsourced to India. What are these people thinking?
Just slap a massive fee on all H1bs.
Increase cost of remittances to India and start adding a fee to H1b visas. I don’t care about tariffs I want indian invaders out of my country
Unless they have converted to Christianity, the culture is India is anything for themselves at the cheapest cost. From cutting line to driving to shopping at Costco in Frisco Texas...which is probably 90% people from India........it’s all about getting whatever they can get.....cheap and or even free.
People who work in retail will tell you they can be the rudest and most opportunist shoppers and the ones they hate t deal with most. Always trying to get a deal. Outdated or incorrect coupons, sales that no longer exist, deals, deals deals.
Only a conversion to the Bible based Christianity is where I see exceptions.
India needs to agree to not supply CNC machines or other stuff for the Russian war effort.
India sending cashews and towels to Russia in exchange for oil won’t result in Russian victory.
“India....should....mandate retrospective security clearances on aircraft purchases, thereby enabling Indian airlines to claim force majeure and potentially cancel or defer large Boeing orders”
“Indian negotiators...growing list of Boeing (NYSE:BA) aircraft orders...$67 billion in combined orders from Air India, Akasa Air, and SpiceJet”

Oh no. I was gonna buys pair of Tatas ( one for me and one for my wife)
“Leading to job losses and slower economic growth...” for which country?
Does buying discounted Russian oil benefit India so crazy much that they can take hits for doing so in other areas of their economy?

Nice to see that by the third paragraph the writers acknowledged that Donald Trump is President of the US.
The democrats and their irrational foreign policy produces the very kind of illogical views and ideas. According to many here you cannot simply be neutral; you must choose a side. You cannot be non-aligned. You cannot have relations with everyone.
This is game Trump plays with diminishing returns.
India had spent the last fifty years trying to gain favor with the west, and especially the US. After the shook off the British Empire, of course they branded by the British globalists as enemies of the west.
Modi has only been in office a short time, about the amount of time as Trump; Trump has destroyed all the trust and goodwill garnered in India over the past 50 years.
Modi has ended the border wars with China and trade is breaking out on both sides of the Sino-Indian border; the same is happening on the Sino-Russo border where trade is creating boom towns.
Modi, Xi and Putin are spending 3-4 days together. This is to hammer out the fledgeling Defense-Treaty and Military Pack between the three nations.
India will take the one chair of leading Brics for one year, after Brazil. India is idealy positioned to lead the Global South and non-aligned states to joining Brics.
Obama, Trump, Biden, and now Trump have ensured the case for Brics remains strong.
Trump was working agianst Brics from Day One in office with his Tariffs; Trump was doing the entire Tariff Wars to bring down Brics.
Brics, unlike the EU or G7, do not use or endorse Sanctions. What Trump is doing is forcing memebers of Brics, and applicant nations, to form more than just an economic alliance. Trump is leading the US quest to re-order the world/maintain US leadership of the world thru coups, conflicts, sanctions and tariffs.
Meanwhile, Poland’s new leader has moved to strip Ukrainians of welfare, and he is preparing the Polish military to invade Western Ukraine to reclaim lands lost a the end of WWII; this will be where the Ukrainians are sent initially before being forced off the Polish dole into Ukriane itself.
Poland’s desire to reclaim lost land will set off German demands to return the land it lost to Poland.
Hungry may eventually turn agianst Ukriane, and is probably going to economically re-align with Russia. Trump’s demands that you choose alligances to the US over friendship or relations with other states will result in a self-imposed Isolation of the US as we finandcially withdraw from everywhere to just where we control.
India is one angry nation towwards Trump and the USG. The people are not happy with the US/Trump. The US has tried to destabilize Modi and Trump’s moves to sanction/tariff India is one of those moves.
Peace Through Strength.

The US receives approximately 30-40% of India's total pharmaceutical exports, with figures citing around 31.35% to 40% in recent reports from April to August 2025. This makes the US the largest export market for Indian-manufactured pharmaceuticals, primarily supplying the US with generic drug products.
