Don’t threaten a tariff. Just threaten to revoke all H1Bs immediately if they do not comply.

India may have the worst tariff regime in the world. Incredibly complex and protectionist. Worse than even China. And I wonder if their elected officials have the political power or will to change it. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Trump made such a big push to create a strategic alliance with India and now he’s going after them.

Tea is a big deal for me, but peace is a bigger one. So many countries are literally funding the Russia-Ukraine bloodshed.

Hopefully h1b / student visas get cut back by a lot . Though that might take awhile for businesses to get replacements. I’d give them a month or so

Good. Implement the tariff.

While you’re at it, President Trump, permanently stop all H-1b job-stealing visas.

Hopefully Apple will fall in line. No China, no India. US and less expensive friendlies to make the iPhones.
India is a BRICS nation and not so neutral.
If US can work something out with Mexico maybe some manufacturing can be done there in addition to domestic production.
Canada is stupid and they’re missing out on the realignment.
Hopefully, Russian oil prices will go up with the sanctions, increasing insurance costs, Russian port and shipping problems.

Something needs to be done about India’s scammer farms!

So now the idea of offending India does not seem like a good idea to me, at all.
