The USA has now officially been given legislative authority to impose 100% tariffs on purchases of fuel imported from Russia.
China has ways to deter the USA from imposing tariffs. Canada, on the other hand, has imposed reciprocal tariffs. Can India act likewise?
What about the recent transfer of drone technology and purchases intended to strengthen India’s capabilities? Could these developments be affected by the changing dynamics?
India’s decisions are based on its strategic and economic interests.
With India diversifying its trade with numerous nations, it might as well face the USA firmly and with resolve.
India has made significant progress in trade and exports.
Reducing trade with the USA is a possibility, but it could also affect areas such as visas and reduce our access to the American market and opportunities.
India must firmly protect its economic interests and resist attempts to dictate its import and fuel policies.
