Trump Is Souring Global Relations

Trump stands to lose, not gain. He lost the tariff war with China, and his claim to end the Ukraine war “instantly” has already strained ties with Putin. European leaders are wary of his only six-week delay on a proposed 50% tariff on EU goods. Canada is preparing to tax oil exports in response to his threatened 25% tariff—oil the U.S. needs badly. Moreover Canada hates to become US 51st state.

He’s also angered India by threatening tariffs on iPhones made there, against Apple’s interests, and for backing terrorist supporter Pakistan—a move that further alienates Indians.

With more than half the world now at odds with him, how can a consumption-driven America thrive without global cooperation?

Caution Is Key When Dealing with Trump

At the start of his presidency, Trump gave the impression he might resolve the Ukraine conflict and take a more conciliatory approach to Russia and the Israel-Palestine crisis. But those hopes quickly unraveled. Putin dismissed Trump’s convoluted proposal to end the war, and Trump’s disregard for Netanyahu only worsened tensions in the Middle East, especially as Hamas refused to release hostages—stalling any peace talks.

In India, Trump publicly called Prime Minister Modi a friend, yet behind the scenes pressured him to halt a border war with Pakistan, again through a muddled offer that appeared to favour the opposing side.

His interactions with other world leaders, such as a cold exchange with Ukraine’s Zelensky during a White House visit and an awkward meeting with South Africa’s president, also raised concerns about his diplomatic tact.

For someone leading the so-called “free world,” such behaviour does not inspire confidence. Many leaders now approach the White House with caution, unsure of how Trump will respond.
China stands out as the only country that managed to extract concessions from Trump—largely due to its dominance in rare earth minerals, which the U.S. needs.

Domestically, Trump has courted unpopularity through his hardline stance on immigration, attacks on government institutions, and most recently, his public feud with Harvard.

None of this bodes well for his standing at home or abroad. A careful reassessment of his past actions—and any future ones is needed.

That's the conclusion you draw from an article about Musk blasting Trump over Congressional spending? What in the name of neuroticism is this?

All you people dhoti shivering about some Burgerhole lead "Regime change", "Revolution" in India have no idea about the absolute terror and ruthlessness that the Indian State can unleash.

Khalistan was supported by the entire west, UK,USA, Canada, etc, with Pakis providing direct support with, training, explosives, and weapons. What came out of it? Nothing but dead Khali Khopdis and Bhindis.

India Against Corruption (IAC) was again engineered to mass mobilize Indians like Ukrainians and use them against China ? What happened? The disgust against the UPA Corruption, morphed into IAC, morphed into electing Modi and here we are.

The Indian state is a strong Central Ashokan state. Mess with the redlines, and you are going to be deader than the Dodo before you can blink. Only thing is these redlines are buried so deep than usual for other countries and that we have the impression of being a soft state.

Remember what happened to Amritpal?

If we could survive what the entire west threw our way in the 80s and 90s when we were barely teetering on the edge, imagine what we are capable of now.

Let me just Put it out there so that you all can have some perspective.

Right now, USA is more comfortable putting its CBGs in a coercive posture near Chinese coast than Indian coasts, because it can no longer assure them of their safety against the BrahMos-Su30MKI Combo. When LRAShM comes online is when the American hostility to us will come out into the open.

LRAShM is not just for Chinese CBGs, but American ones too.

America has lost its military coercive power to engage in "Gunboat diplomacy" against India, and they HATE it. It puts their actions in perspective.

The blunt edge goes to-- NRI/ H1B kabutars ( sadly my family members are to take the heat too along with all rest, but that's an welcome, we are to get lots of dollar cash inbound in next coming years over here, hopefully. That will boost the overall growth over here than going wasted in bitcoins and useless properties and rainbow knowledge in US)

We will be forced to figure out the engine tech of all kind along with new defense equipments, that will benefit us as a nation than the mutlticropati red tape babus in long term.

It's evident that the racial card against (Specially) Indian diaspora gona get uglier over time in US, as we are the most successfools over their. And they really hate curry Indians from the bottom of their soul.

So, in stort term, we might loose some FDI/ equipment's/tech inflow. But in long term.. the bright minds will again come back to their homeland for a fresh new start for a new India.

China–U.S. Adversarial Relations Are Better for the World

A friendly China–U.S. relationship has proven detrimental to global interests. As adversaries, their competition better serves the world, particularly in trade and technology.

When President Trump entered office with a Republican majority across Congress, the Senate, and the White House, he set out to reshape global trade, streamline government operations, and pursue bold geopolitical ambitions—such as revisiting control over the Panama Canal, exploring Greenland’s acquisition, and even entertaining Canada as the 51st state. His top priority, however, was trade reform.

Trump’s administration targeted major trade imbalances, introducing tariffs on countries like China, Canada, and EU nations. The goal was to reduce imports and bring manufacturing back to the U.S., thereby creating domestic jobs. Among these nations, China posed the biggest challenge, with a trade surplus exceeding $400 billion. Unlike previous administrations that tolerated China’s practices—including reverse engineering and undercutting U.S. goods—Trump sought a direct economic confrontation.

China, flush with trade surplus cash, invested heavily in its military and key technologies, aiming for dominance in artificial intelligence and critical mineral supply chains. The U.S. eventually responded with export controls on advanced chips, slowing China’s tech advancement.
In retaliation, China restricted exports of essential materials such as Lithium, Gallium, and other rare earth elements—resources in which it held up to a 90% global market share. Ironically, the U.S. had these resources domestically but outsourced production for cost and environmental reasons.

Today, the facade of friendly economic ties has crumbled. Decades of cooperation gave China the leverage to challenge U.S. dominance, while the U.S. saw its global influence wane. As adversaries, however, both nations are compelled to diversify partnerships, and strengthen internal capabilities. This policy is unlike the nineties when Chinese were allowed to take industries in a wholesale way and relocate them to China.

Trump, with renewed political strength, promises to correct past imbalances—reviving U.S. industry, restoring technological leadership, and shifting dependency back from China.

In this adversarial dynamic, the world stands to benefit: a more balanced global economy, diversified supply chains, and reduced reliance on a single dominant player. Other rising economies have a better chance for growth than within friendly China-US framework.
