New Delhi: When pompous Donald Trump had levied tariffs across the globe, including India with 24%, the detractors kept asking a question: "How could PM Modi's best friend, Donald Trump, betray India?"
But one thing that everybody glanced over was Donald Trump's statement, '' Do even try to retaliate. If you do, then better be ready to face the consequences. If you don't, you will be rewarded."
While other countries waited patiently, China hit back with reciprocal tariffs vehemently. Xi Jinping embarked on a perilous mission of hurting Trump's ego. In return, Mr. Trump dismantled the Chinese economy by hitting Chinese goods with a crushing 125% tariff, and China retaliated with 84% tariffs on all U.S. imports, igniting an all-out economic clash.

With Trump's policies effectively displacing China from the US market, India has a prime opportunity to strengthen its presence. The Indian government should ramp up support for domestic companies to capitalize on this shift.
