India Glo News (IGN)• 8:05
Trump's 50% tariff on India is now falling on America because this time the country that Trump was hoping to get support from is standing with India. Yes, NATO, that military alliance that usually remains silent in economic debates, is now openly speaking against Trump and has entered the field in support of India. For the first time, NATO has taken such a direct stand in a major trade dispute. Its senior advisor F. Crystal Corp. Trump's policy was a direct arm-twisting,
saying that this way of putting pressure on countries like India will never work. His statement was not only harsh, but also a direct attack on Trump's foreign policy, which is echoing in the alleys of the White House. Corr said clearly that Trump's steps are in breaking the relations between India and the US, and the biggest threat is that this will further increase the closeness between India and Russia. According to him, this move is weakening the ties between the West in the Indo-Pacific region,
which will be a defeat for America. The more shocking the statement of NATO, the more beneficial it is for India, because now not only China, Russia, Brazil or Israel, but also a large military-political bloc of Europe has openly come forward on India's side. This message is clear for Trump.
The era of one-sided decisions in the world is now over. Meanwhile, in Denmark's India, Ambassador Christensen buried Trump's statement about a dead economy. He said, India is not a dead economy in any way, but it is the fastest growing economy in the world.
In the eyes of Europe, India is the most reliable place for investment and trade. Christensen also gave a strong argument, if India was weak, then why would Europe and Denmark make a billion-dollar investment plan here? There is a free trade agreement between the European Union and India, and this will prove a game changer for both sides.
They also said that in Europe, businessmen are always on good faith and not on threats and pressure. And this is exactly the opposite of Trump's strategy. Europe's clear message is that powerful countries cannot put conditions on small countries.
This international alliance is taking place at a time when New Delhi has given America a big shock. Genetically modified countries can't impose conditions on small countries. This international solidarity is happening in such a time when New Delhi has given America a big shock. India has ended the talks on genetically modified GM crops
that had been going on for months. This talk was very important for America because Trump wanted India to open its market for GM corn and GM soybeans. In the beginning, India the import of GM crops, but later, the import was discussed for non-fertile use in a limited amount. But as soon as Trump announced a 50% tariff and made the mistake of calling India a dead economy, the atmosphere changed.
The Politburo removed the proposal for GM crops without any fuss and ended the conversation. This was India's straight and hard answer. There was another reason behind this. The pressure within the country. The Farmer's Association, Swadeshi Jagran Manch and many social groups were against GM crops for a long time.
They said that this was a threat to the survival of farmers, food security and bio-safety of the environment. PM Modi had already made it clear that there would be no compromise in the interests of the farmers, fishermen and the dairy sector, no matter how big the price is. This is why ending talks on GM crops is not just a business move, but also a political decision taken by the farmers. This is a double-edged sword for America. One, their strategy of putting pressure on the US has failed. And two, India is already growing in agriculture. In the last 20 years, India's agricultural productivity has increased by 5 times compared to the US.
These figures show that India is growing economically in this area and Trump's tariff is making it more difficult for India to lower it. This is the reason why America having to face not only Asia but also a tougher opposition from Europe. NATO's stand here becomes even more important. Because this is not just a matter of trade, but a fight for the rules of the international system. Europe's clear direction is that global trade should be based on rules based on order.
While America is trying to make decisions on its own. These statements from India have increased Trump's political pressure many times. That too at a time when the US has to face the Russian-Chinese challenge and India's role in the Indo-Pacific is decisive. This step by Trump is not only damaging relations with India, but also upsetting upset his allies.
The fact that NATO and Europe are on India's side is proof that the US-led pressure is not going to work everywhere. This is a diplomatic victory for New Delhi. On one hand, it has ended talks on GM crops while protecting domestic interests, and on the other hand, it is getting unparalleled support on the international stage. This whole controversy is no longer just a matter of tariffs, but has become a new example of power balance in global politics.
India has shown that it will not bow to pressure, and its free foreign policy not only shines in papers, but also in decisions. The message ahead is clear, any country that wants to keep relations with India, it will have to talk on the basis of respect and equality. Otherwise, whether it is America or any other superpower,
India will not only end the conversation, but will also show the world how many other countries are standing with it. If you look at this whole controversy in depth, then Trump's 50% tariff is not just a financial decision, but a political weapon. On the pretext of punishing India for buying oil from Russia,
America wants to please its domestic industries and farmers. But the problem is that this step has pushed India to become more self-reliant instead of bowing to India. This is why India is now working fast on the strategy of reducing dependence on America in fields such as agriculture, technology and defense, and to reduce dependence on America. Europe and NATO's participation in India is also a big reason because it directly challenges America's leadership. For decades, America has been setting international norms in the Western countries.
But now Europe is openly saying that these norms will not be made by the will of powerful countries, but by everyone's consent. This change can be the beginning of a new era in the international system in which emerging powers like India will have a much greater impact than before. Ending talks on GM crops and rejecting US pressure are both decisions that strengthen national self-esteem.
The global business world is also looking at this debate closely. For investors, this is a sign that India is a country that deals with its conditions and can invest here for a long time with stable policies. On the other hand, it is a warning for America that the politics of pressure not only gives rise to opposition, but can also remove its old allies. The picture ahead is clear, if America does not make a change in its direction, India's tilt will shift more towards Europe, Asia and the Global South. This will not only affect the US-India relations, but the US strategy in the Indo-Pacific will also be weak. NATO's standing with India is the beginning of this change, and in the coming months, this clash may be even more intense on the global stage.
Another important aspect of the US-India trade clash is the possible intervention of the World Trade Organization, WTO. According to sources, India is considering filing a court-martial complaint with the WTO, in which 50% of the tariffs will be against international trade rules. If India takes this step, it will not only be a legal battle, but also a global example, in which a large, rising country will put the world's most powerful country a rule-breaking country. From this step, India's image will be a rule-based and self-confident global player.
On the other hand, this controversy has also started to be seen in American domestic politics. There, the farmers' organizations and farmers' activists have begun to put pressure on the Trump administration that it will be harmful loss to break relations with India because India is a huge consumer market. The special thing is that many influential American media and think tanks are now openly admitting
that calling India a dead economy was a big political mistake. This has raised questions at the court level of America and it has become a belief that Trump's foreign policy views and it has become a belief that Trump's foreign policy views are more emotional and less understanding.
