Economic pressures reshape partnerships
Commercial data from the IndexBox platform indicates that economic pressure is an important driver in this geopolitical transformation. The imposition of a 50 % tariff by the Trump administration, partly due to India’s purchases of Russian oil, has been strained on the bilateral economic relationship. This has created an environment as India is forced to search for stronger economic relations with China and Russia, including increasing investment discussions and commercial visas.
Experts urge to beware of excessive reaction
Despite the dramatic shift in tone, foreign policy experts warn against interpreting recent events as a permanent reorganization. Lisa Cortis, director of the India and Pacific Program at a new American security center, said that Trump’s movements “force India to absorb China” economically, but stressed that “India does not flirt with the idea of joining the axis of the turmoil,” a term indicating the coalition that corresponds to the army between Russia, China and North Korea. Experts refer to the serious border crisis between India and China in 2020 as evidence that the underlying tensions are still strong.
The diplomatic calendar highlights tensions
Additional stress in the diplomatic schedule is shown, with the New York Times report confirms that President Trump will not attend the upcoming quadruple summit, the Alliance of Australia, India, Japan and the United States. The events of the week in China, which included a military parade in Beijing, included Xi, Putin, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, was closely in Washington. President Trump indicated that he was watching the show, which he described as “very impressive”, as he understood that he was partially intended for his fans.
