America First Policy (Social media)
Business News: India, which has been a trusted partner of the US for decades, is now facing a challenge due to President Donald Trump's "America First" policies. The tariff imposed on India for buying oil from Russia has soured the relations between the two countries. This move seems to draw a new line of tension between the world's two largest democracies.
Trump's tariff policy is not only troubling India but has also become a headache for many other allies like Qatar, Poland, and South Korea. These countries are feeling cheated by this move of America, and their resentment is clearly visible.
The US administration has considered India an important ally in Asia for decades. Trump's ban on India is a step away from this tradition. It is believed that Trump wanted to take the credit for preventing any tension or war between India and Pakistan, but Prime Minister Modi's strategic understanding made it impossible.
India is currently increasing defense cooperation with the US but is also trying to maintain its long-standing ties with Russia. Experts say Trump's tough stance could bring India closer to Russia and China. According to Damien Murphy of the Center for American Progress, this move shows "weakness, chaos, and arrogance."
Trump supporters believe that this move is necessary so that allies take steps in line with America's expectations. US envoy to Ukraine Keith Kellogg calls it "America First diplomacy in action." But experts believe that this could weaken America's global influence. According to Paul Poast (University of Chicago), America is no longer the world's police force, and it will have to adopt new methods.
