Скачать или смотреть Trump vs India | Trump’s Friendships Exposed | Friendship, Tariffs & Strategic Autonomy

Trump’s public charm often reads as “friendship” but the policy moves tell a very different story. In this video we unpack why the recent U.S. tariff actions (and the wider pattern of transactional diplomacy) are a strategic risk for India and the region. We look at the 50% tariff on Indian exports, the high-stakes meetings with Putin and Xi, the rare-earth magnet threats, and what this means for India’s strategic autonomy.

What you’ll learn in this video:

• The basics: what the new U.S. tariff measures mean and how they were applied to India.
• Why analysts call this “transactional diplomacy”, praise one day, punitive trade steps the next.
• Key recent events: Trump - Putin meetings, China rare-earth threats, and political gestures like a Nobel nomination, and why these moves matter geopolitically.
• The risks for India: trade shocks, trust erosion, and the possibility of strategic realignment toward Russia/China.


If you want a short takeaway: words and warmth can hide transactional tactics - and for India the safe answer is to preserve strategic autonomy rather than rely only on rhetorical friendships.

📌 Tell me in comments: Do you think tariffs and public gestures will change India’s strategic posture, or will trade dependence win out?
