Trump’s Tariff Salvo at India: The Geopolitics

What does a trade deal with the US really mean for India? How can we strengthen our global trade position while keeping crucial partnerships in defense, technology, and space safe from political crossfire? In this candid conversation, host Anirban Chowdhury sits down with ET’s Pranab Dhal Samanta to break down the brewing US-India trade tensions sparked by Trump’s latest move on reciprocal tariffs. They unpack the bigger picture: the geopolitics at play, the domestic pressures driving Trump’s decisions, and the tough calls India now faces, from rethinking its WTO commitments to negotiating a bilateral trade deal. With sharp insights into China’s economic strategies and the urgent need for trade reforms, this is a timely, no-nonsense look at what lies ahead for Indo-US relations.
