      I have been to the us conservative sub and was genuinely shocked to see how brainwashed they are they think those tariffs will actually help them in 2 or 3 years

      Understandable. Trump has done everything he possibly can to push India towards a better relationship with Russia, by „attempting“ to force them to stop working with Russia. Who would have imagined threatening other nations with tariffs and sanctions could lead to worsened relations and trust? #TheArtOfTheDeal

      This is the way. Don’t give the economically illiterate malignant narcissist any fuel for his fire. Let him sit & stew.

      Nah, just put him on hold. It’s not like Trump does anything real during the day, so no net loss there.

      So, what’s the Indian equivalent of muzak?

      I really started to respect India recently. While the country has been backsliding slowly away from democratic norms, it has successfully charted a truly independent course among other major powers.

      I remember when a call from the U.S. President was something other world leaders didn’t ignore. I fear that we are the laughing stock of the world.

      TL;DR: US President Donald Trump made at least four attempts to talk to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the phone in recent weeks, but the Indian leader refused to talk to him, according to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine. The Mainz-based newspaper of record suggests this to be the result of the „depth of his [Modi’s] anger, but also his caution“.

      The attempts by President Trump to talk to PM Modi came even as his administration hit India with 50% tariffs, the highest for any country other than Brazil. (taken from the article)

      There’s a reason countries don’t willy nilly slap tariffs on other countries.

      Aaahahaha. As much as I dislike Modi I’m glad to see other world leaders ignoring our petulant schoolyard bully of a President.

      Ohhhh, he’s screwed alright. *grins knowingly.*

      I am not a fan of Modi, he has some hits, some misses, and one of them is this:

      He doesn’t talk to press. He makes speeches, and announcements, but no interviews* . And no Q&A press conferences. Eleven years, not one.

      This is because during campaigning, the press made a point of repeatedly pushing him on a dark, black, spot in his otherwise clean image at the time. The 2002 riots in his state.

      So he got pissed, and stopped talking to press. Not during campaigning, not for that year: FOREVER.

      So if he’s pissed at Trump and thinks it isn’t worth talking to him: I can easily see Modi deciding to cut all his calls. Maybe tell the External Affairs Minister (Jaishankar) to give it a go if he wants.

      *the business with Arnab Goswamy doesn’t count.

      It is the right move. Every leader that had a one on one discussion with Trump ended up with a terrible deal. Trump will probably start with a maximalist position and start issuing threats, if they are not met. No point in dealing with him personally.

      The only thing India can do is to absorb the pain from the loss of exports and wait for Trump to push the US economy into a recession. If that happens, they will be more receptive to a fairer trade deal. If that doesn’t happen then India just has to learn to live with the tariff, and look for other markets, just like the Chinese did during his previous term.

      One thing is certain, there is no way the Indian government is going to open up the agri sector as the Americans want.
