Why geopolitical alliance between the US and India is on ice
President Trump's announcement of sweeping new tariffs on India, totaling 50%, should dispel illusions that the US–India relationship is a warm alliance of like-minded democracies. The move marks a sharp escalation in what is now openly a trade war. Trump cited India's ongoing imports of discounted Russian oil, accusing New Delhi of helping fund Moscow's war machine and selling refined Russian crude on the open market for profit. India responded sharply, hinting at retaliation. Yet Trump pressed on: The first 25% tariff takes effect this week, with another 25% kicking in later this month. This is one of the harshest tariff regimes the US has ever imposed on a major trading partner — and it's aimed at a country Washington claims to view as a key ally. 5 President Trump's announcement of sweeping new tariffs on India, totaling 50%, should dispel illusions that the US–India relationship is a warm alliance of like-minded democracies. Trump is seen here with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. REUTERS On paper, India looks like the perfect partner. It's the world's most populous democracy, largely English-speaking, and deeply embedded in the US economy. Bilateral trade in goods and services hit $212 billion in 2024, with the US trade deficit at about $46 billion. India serves as a key manufacturing hub for pharmaceuticals, apparel and tech. The US sees India as a counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific. But India doesn't see the relationship through sentimental eyes. Since the Cold War, New Delhi has pursued a doctrine of non-alignment, which has evolved into strategic autonomy. It joins US-led forums like the Quad — in which, alongside Japan and Australia, they aim to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific without demanding formal allegiance. But India is also a member of the BRICS group of developing nations and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It buys weapons from the US and France, but also Russia, maintaining friendly ties with Iran and boycotting no one. 5 Russia is a long-time defense partner and energy supplier. India now imports more than a third of its oil from Russia, totaling over $50 billion annually — which is a huge spike since 2021. Modi is seen here with Russia's President Vladimir Putin. AP That instinct is rooted in deep historical memory. Colonized by Britain and sidelined by US Cold War support for Pakistan, India emerged with a fierce desire to avoid foreign dependency. Especially under the nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it sees itself not as a junior partner in a Western-led order but as a civilizational power asserting its own sovereignty. This helps explain India's refusal to isolate Russia over the Ukraine war. Russia is a long-time defense partner and energy supplier. India now imports more than a third of its oil from Russia, totaling over $50 billion annually — which is a huge spike since 2021, meaning India has taken advantage of Russia's discounts, and which makes it the largest importer of Russian crude ahead of China and Iran. Some of that oil is refined and re-exported to Western markets through a sanctions loophole. It's a lucrative arrangement India has no intention of abandoning — and it keeps Vladimir Putin in business. That's the connection driving events these past few weeks: As Trump has lost faith in Putin's willingness to engage on ending the Ukraine war, so has his impatience with Modi gone through the roof. 5 The US wants India's help in containing China and securing global supply chains. Modi is seen here with China's President Xi Jinping. Getty Images But Trump's response — tariffs as geopolitical punishment — is unusual. Tariffs are typically used to protect domestic industry. Using them to enforce foreign policy aims introduces a different logic. Is it madness? Not entirely. Tariffs are one of the few levers a president can pull unilaterally. But the India case exposes the risks of this approach. India is unlikely to cave. With 1.4 billion people (the most in the world), a $4.2 trillion economy (tied with Japan for fourth in the world) and decent economic growth, it doesn't take kindly to coercion. Worse, this tactic invites charges of hypocrisy. Other countries still trade with Russia in fertilizer, chemicals and refined products. There's also blowback. Tariffs generally raise prices for US consumers, particularly in sectors like generic drugs and clothing. They also threaten to undermine supply chain shifts away from China. Companies like Apple have moved production to India — only to find their new base hit with punitive tariffs. Meanwhile, India may retaliate against US exports in energy and aerospace. 5 The US sees India as a counterweight to China in the Indo-Pacific. But India doesn't see the relationship through sentimental eyes. Carlo – American policymakers of the pre-Trump era spoke of a shared democratic identity and mutual values. But the real relationship is transactional. The US wants India's help in containing China and securing global supply chains. India wants American technology, markets and investment. That's why cooperative efforts like the iCET tech partnership and semiconductor joint ventures may succeed where talk of 'friendship' falls flat. The signs of this can be subtle. For example, Trump has been bragging in recent weeks about having averted war between India and Pakistan earlier this year. Putting aside the likely exaggeration, it did not escape notice in New Delhi that he was placing India — an imperfect but pluralistic democracy — on equal footing with its less-than-democratic rival. For a country deeply conscious of its global standing, this surely reinforced the perception that the Trump administration views India not as a partner of principle, but as just another actor to be cajoled as the situation demands. So it is no surprise that trade negotiations have repeatedly stalled over tariffs and market access. India maintains high barriers on agricultural imports and resists regulatory alignment. The US complains of protectionism; India sees imperialism. Neither is entirely wrong. India's foreign policy is rational, pragmatic, occasionally aggressive and ruthlessly self-interested. Trump's tariffs may sting, but they won't alter that fact. 5 In 1949, President Herbert Hoover met with Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi in New Delhi. Bettmann Archive The discomfort lies in letting go of the fantasy that India is a democratic soulmate. If both sides accept that the relationship is not built on shared values but overlapping interests, then real partnership is still possible. For the likes of Trump and Modi, that's about the best that you can hope for.

Gold plaque, Olympic medals and a jet: Here are the gifts Trump has accepted
Donald Trump received a glass disc with a 24-karat gold base from Apple CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday, as the tech titan announced a $100 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing facilities. Why it matters: The gold bauble is the latest lavish gift presented to Trump in an attempt to curry favor with the president this year, raising both ethical and legal concerns. What they're saying:"Elected leaders and business titans from around the world are traveling to the Oval Office to make historic investments into America because of President Trump's bold vision," White House Spokesman Davis Ingle told Axios in an emailed statement. "Often these leaders are eager to share gifts highlighting the exciting work they are doing," the statement continued. Catch up quick: The president accepted a $400 million jet from the Qatari royal family earlier this year that would be worth over 100 times more than any other gift accepted by a president from a foreign nation combined since 2001, according to an Axios review of State Department data. Trump also received a full set of 1984 Olympic medals earlier this week, as he will preside over the games in Los Angeles in 2028. Zoom out: Trump has outfitted the Oval Office in many shiny gold accents this year, in ways that critics consider reminiscent of a monarchy, and in contrast to America's founding principles. The president has added two side tables supported by golden eagles, "Trump 47" gold coasters and adorned the marble fireplace with gold ornaments, amongst other things, according to a review by NPR. What other gifts has the president received? The president and the first family failed to report at least 117 foreign gifts worth roughly $291,000 during his first term in office, according to a 2023 report by the then Democrat-led House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. In that review, the Department of State indicated that the Trump administration "did not prioritize" reporting gift records to the department, causing the agency to publish an incomplete listing of gifts that did not include any foreign gifts received by President Trump. Flashback: The report found that the family accepted a Saudi dagger worth up to $24,000, two sword sets with a total value of $8,800 and multiple winter coats, one of which is valued at up to $3,000. The former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, gifted Trump multiple gold golf clubs in an attempt to create a "special relationship," including one worth an estimated $3,755. The National Archives and Records Administration has no record of the clubs and does not have them in its custody. The president did disclose the acceptance of an Ultimate Fighting Championship belt, a bronze statue depicting the flag raising over Iwo Jima, and customized golf accessories amongst other things in his final financial disclosure reports in 2021. What laws prohibit the president from accepting gifts from foreign leaders? The Foreign Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone holding office from accepting any "present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State." The Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act blocks the president and federal officials from keeping personal gifts worth more than "minimal value," which is currently equivalent to $480.
