News Today Debate | India-US Standoff: Experts Debate Counter-Tariffs Vs 'Hunker Down' Against Trump

As the US threatens to increase tariffs, India finds itself at a crossroads, debating its response to Donald Trump’s diplomatic approach. One expert, Brahma Chalani, suggests India must set clear boundaries with counter-tariffs, calling Trump a "bull in a China shop." In contrast, Dr. Sanjay Baru advises India to "hunker down" and wait, stating that the core issue is a fundamental loss of trust built over 25 years. He says, "The trust is gone…the first impact of whatever President Trump has done is to completely…erase the trust that we built." The discussion also explores India’s increased Russian oil imports, which rose from 1% of its crude in 2021 to 28% in 2024, and the context of US and EU trade with Russia. The debate touches on whether India is acting in its national interest or for corporate benefit, and the steady decline in the crucial India-US relationship.
