In a fiery announcement, Trump criticized India's protectionist policies, high tariffs, and non-monetary trade barriers, claiming they’ve long stifled U.S. access to Indian markets. With hopes of nudging India away from Russia and toward U.S. arms and energy, this aggressive move may push India to the negotiating table—or deepen the divide. Meanwhile, the broader BRICS alliance continues to struggle with internal discord, casting doubt on any serious counter to the West.
