According to this video, India is diversifying its pharmaceutical exports to other countries and this is causing supply shortages and price hikes. I'll take this with a pinch of salt as I didn't see any other such reports. BTW, pharma imports from India don't face any tariffs yet.

John Mearshiemer has the best explanation for the pickle that the US is in now, IMHO. The powers that be in the US are (were) unable to come to terms with a multipolar world. They wanted to conquer Russia, use it to enhance the power of the west and continue to work on dismantling China and India. C...

Indian channels are reporting that Trump said there will not be any secondary tariffs for now but if there is no progress in 2-3 weeks, there might be which is as good as having them now.

Putin was cheerful while Trump was subdued and looked like going through the motions.

I think India should employ and eu strategy. Seemingly give him a win but impose massive tarriffs or other barriers at state level . It's not just the tariffs alone, its the Russian oil too.

I think the deep state got to Trump. They are making sure no body in the US or any country in the world supports anybody other than their candidate. No body will believe any candidate who promises to change the status quo in America. As a quid pro quo, Trump gets to enrich himself while in office.
