India’s buying cheap Russian oil. Trump’s not happy. And now he’s slapped 50% tariffs on Indian goods. Officially, it’s about funding Russia’s war machine. Unofficially? It might be about one man’s ego, a Nobel Peace Prize dream, and India refusing to play along.
From the MEA’s unusually sharp statement to the PM’s vow to "pay any price to protect farmers," we unpack the real stakes amid the India-US showdown over tariffs.
– Is India’s "multi-alignment" foreign policy reaching breaking point?
– Why agriculture is a red line in India-US trade talks.
– How diplomats handle unpredictable leaders like Donald Trump.
– The shift in India’s diplomatic tone – and why a career diplomat as EAM matters.
– Will India hit back with counter-tariffs or play the long game?
Veteran national security journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to decode this latest round of diplomatic warfare — from South Block’s air-conditioned strategy rooms to the high-stakes oil politics of Moscow and Washington.
