Live Q&A: Trump Turns Up Heat on India — What It Means for Trade, Russia and Modi's Foreign Policy
For more than a decade, the US and India have moved closer on trade, defense and diplomacy. That trajectory may now be in reverse. President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on Indian exports and an additional 25% tariff tied to Russian oil purchases, mark the most aggressive US posture toward India in years. The move jolted a relationship that just months ago saw both sides near a bilateral trade deal and raises fresh questions about whether India remains a preferred partner for Washington in its Indo-Pacific strategy. Join Bloomberg's Menaka Doshi, Daniel Ten Kate, Sudhi Ranjan Sen and Shawn Donnan for a Live Q&A as they unpack what's behind the dramatic reversal in US–India relations and the risk of lasting diplomatic damage.
