Indo US Relations

Mail-SPL-468-X60-2x
I think Trump might put some heavy tariffs on India, seeing India not bulging on either trade or ordering off the shelf F35…
Next year Pakistan will be flying J-35s..
So, India might get F-35.. even if it will be a Hangar Queen..with lots of restrictions..

Just to get a feel of fifth generation fighters.. because we will see AMCA in good numbers only by 2040
 
11 years in power unopposed.

Can't even take care of the postings in one of the most important embassies.

What exactly is the MEA doing and how compromised is Jaishankar?
Why is the PM not reviewing his performance? Even the basic due diligence is not being done in invitations. Wonder what else must be happening elsewhere
 
Some reports are claiming that the trade deal may be announced next week. I hope we delay it to the last week.
Trump has become very toxic, he's finding easy "wins" against countries that are cordial to US and trying to sell those wins to its population.

Also hoping we don't give too much concessions that may impact us long term, Trump is only going to remain for 4 years.

Trade is all about give and take . WTO in itself more or less a creation of the US, made it look like Trade is a country's right.. It is not.. Trade with any country is a privilege . And Trump is rightly leveraging the privilege of access to the world's biggest market..
Access to India's biggest and growing market is also a privilege..
There will be give and take.. As long as the price is right, India would love a trade deal with the US.
Yes, Trump blabbering about how great a deal maker he is.. and how the deal is "totally in US favour" will rub us in the wrong places . But, Modi will take it in his stride . Because, ultimately we will want to increase our exports to our biggest export market even further.
 
Trump and his Hundred Days

Do you get the feeling that mighty presidency of Donald Trump has lost much of its shine within first 100 days. All the friends he thought had at home and abroad are becoming adversaries. Elon Musk is an example. Others who had good feelings towards him abroad including Modi are no longer talking to him. All trade deals he thought he will get, are in limbo.

In fact, soon not much of his presidency will be left except bitter taste in mouth.

Sometimes you have to show your fangs. Leader ji's frandship drama even though with good intent didn't led to anything because US and trumpva saw it as our weakness. Even th superpower US isn't getting away without any consequences if they want to screw us up. Let's be honest they can't sanction us without facing issues at home..Service sector is still two way street.

Now, ape wants to mediate on Kashmir.

Expect more "news" about Pak getting J-Whatever & another set of news that only F-Whatever is the antidote.

It is not that Pakistan did something unique for US that it tilted to Pakistani side. It is extreme desire in Trump himself for taking credit for anything and everything. It is only that Pakistanis read it right the Trump’s mind and invented a fake nuclear leak. That brought Trump to jump in the fray and use trade as leverage to tell Modi that either you stop or trade deal is off.

Well Modi had no other choice but to agree to the ceasefire.

Next stop is July 9th partial trade deal. It may or may not happen as Trump is asking for too much in agricultural market in India is opened for American products.

Trump caved in to China, because they stopped rare earth supply. India has no such clever thing at its disposal. If India does not caves in on to agriculture products US pressure then US tariffs will begin on July 9th.

In my opinion let that happen. Trump will loose the last lever of US pressure. Then what?

Its time to be realistic….

We cant do shit to USA

Economically we are not even 7 times of USA
Militarily may be 70X less powerful
And Geopolitical level not even 700X

Lets see how we can bend and get some positives

Bending se kya mila Bhai abtak? We should keep it purely transactional. I'm not saying we should antagonise America. But showing a bit fang is not a bad thing. Even Japan does it for diplomatic matters sometimes. Overtly bending to Trump gave jacksh*t in last few months. They are superior power nothing to deny there. But doesn't mean we should go above and beyond to show them our asses to pummel their banana into it just to get that sweet sweet dollar just like Al-Bakistan. There should be some dignity we should maintain. Trade deal for example we can't just give everything on platter to US. They even want open access to our dairy, agriculture, etc. There are certain things where we can't bent because of various reasons including domestic politics. If India bents to US demands and tomorrow ends MSP do you think farmers would stay calm? Obviously not. We have not bent to US demands in WTO for many years precisely because how it gonna mess up the situation in our domestic politics.

Let us keep doing trade with them. Buy some token weapons here and there. Get sh*t that doesn't come with some strings attached. Nothing beyond that. India shouldn't become vassal state of USA.
