Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
The diamond and jewellery exports to US are not only for desi customers. Many of the jewellery items found in big box stores like Macys, JC Penny, Nordstorm etc are from India. It is definitely a big market and contributes lot more in terms of people employed. Clothes is one other big labour-intensive industry. In the recent past, India had won more orders due to the strife in BD etc. Now, all of that is at risk

How India Plans to Beat Trump’s Trade War | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G
Trump’s steep tariffs have triggered what experts call a full-blown trade war—Nomura even likens them to a “trade embargo.” Some exporters say it feels like an “earthquake.” But India isn’t standing still. New Delhi is exploring alternatives and building resilience. Talks with Washington are still on the table, but only on India’s terms. So, what is India's gameplan? Palki Sharma tells you.

IMO American/DD/Trump's new found hate for Modi has little to do with russian oil. Modi refused to become a vassal state of the US and become the next Ukraine against China.
For the global hegemon that the US wants to continue to be, a rebel India is a dangerous precedent to be nipped in the bud, and asap.
Which means Modi has to be toppled. I'm expecting the coming months will see numerous attacks on Modi and Bharat, attempts to foment internal strife and try and drag the country into chaos.
The stalled trade negotiations and just another tool to project Modi as an ineffectual leader. The claims of job losses in textiles, gems and jewellery etc will be massively exaggerated by our sold-out opposition and media. While ignoring the impact on our agri, fisheries industries if Bharat were to capitulate.
Already the S word has been used against Bharat, a friendly nation. The US will apply multiple levels of sanctions on Bharat for trading with Russia, and therefore the Ukraine conflict will have to continue for a few more months. All the rhetoric about millions of lives lost or saved is just that. Rhetoric.
Normally, NaMo is not the one to shy away from tough meetings or conversations. But if he has refused phone calls with Trump multiple times, then something must have been said by Trump & Co. which has gone horribly wrong, I guess this might have happened at the G7 in Canada.
In a recent speech, NaMo has said he is ready to pay a heavy price personally if required to protect the interest of Bharat and it's people. He never makes such statements unless he is sure of something and is sending a message.
That the US is not listening and is doubling down is clear from the recent appointment of Gor as ambassador to India and official troublemaker in our neighborhood.
IMO Trump has bitten into the lion's mane which he cannot chew, and a lion provoked will only become Narasimha.

All this means Bharat - US ties are being reset. And the next chapter will be written on Bharat's terms.

Greenland is back in the spotlight. A shocking new report by Denmark's national broadcaster accuses three Trump-linked Americans of conducting covert influence operations on the icy island. Denmark has summoned the top U.S. diplomat in Copenhagen for answers. From secret recruitment lists to strategic resource deals, this story involves intelligence tactics, political manipulation, and a long-standing ambition by Donald Trump to "get" Greenland.
