But India seems to look at the alliance between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran - and they want in. India seems keen to align with the baddies, so I would expect Indian exports - such as they are - to be pretty much non-existent in western markets going forward.
Why should India align with a bully? If you give in to Trump, he just demands more. I applaud any country that defends its sovereignty and stands up to bullies.
By the way, India agreed to give up Russian oil and buy it from the US if the US offered the same price as Russia. If buying from Russia is so bad, why didn't the US agree to sell them oil at the Russian price?
Trump shut down USAID> Our official policy is not to be subsidizing other countries.
India hasn't figured out how to thrive economically yet, and it's a country that goes back over 5000 years -- one of the o oldest continuous civilizations in the world. Selling cheaper oil right now for a few years isn't going to fix it, if 5000 years hasn't.
So why should India give in to America's bullying? If America's policy is America first, shouldn't India's policy be India first?
PP here. Why not? India has all the time in the world to figure it out on their own.
The US will just have to make do, whether internally or with another country than India. This is 2025. That is how it goes.

Do you know what it's like to be a poor country where many people can't afford electricity? Those are hard choices, not that I applaud India's actions. People here are so spoiled and always crying "bad economy," they can't imagine that level of poverty.

Pharma industry should be able to ramp up in another country pretty quickly. Most formulations follow the same process, just different ingredients. This is the risk that India faces - if they try to wait out the war/tariffs, they are going to lose entire industries because people aren’t going to pay higher prices for long.

It’s going to affect India much, much more than it will affect any of us. That’s why the tariffs will be effective. And frankly, I’m not sure what Trump is waiting for. India is financing mass murder in Ukraine. We should put a stop to that today, not tomorrow.

Lots of furniture sold in U.S. is from India and Vietman now instead of China, and the Indian/Vietnamese furniture is made from very low quality soft wood and looks terrible.
