And why can't they complain and increase tariffs for US at the same time? Now you tell us, why did Trump pause tariffs for 90 days? Why did 'vishwaguru' Modi kiss Trump's 'tashreef'? And how did Trump's net worth drop by $500 million?
Because USA is their biggest market and it will hurt them financially. Your deflection of questions are well known in the gaza Israel forum
Nothing to defend. China is the one whining here.. every right to complain.. lol ok got it..He has nothing left to defend, so now he is upset that China didn't just sit back and kiss Trump's behind like India and a few other spineless countries did. They have every right to complain and that won't make them look weak. Let him whine.

Yes, I have. I never blindly reply to anything. Go through the thread from when the tariffs were applied.
I mentioned in a post above - the real superpowers in the SC are Pak and Ban. Didnt you read it ? You naughty kid..Trump pause on tariffs after superpower Bangladesh advice him .
Trump’s Net Worth Drops $500 Million As Tariffs Upend Global Economy
Tariffs seem like simple tools, but they often come with unexpected repercussions. Just ask the president, whose fortune dropped a half billion dollars in a few days.

Read between the lines. Trump wants to move manufacturing to India. In fact he wants to move the capital of the USA from Washington to New Delhi.
The devulation is deliberate to make Chinese goods cheaper despite the tariffs.
Chinese ke sath sath unke wannabe supporter ki bhi halat patli ho gyi .
They understand very well but don't want to accept the reality because it's hurting them
You and I have things we might agree on and matters we will probably punch each other over.
Its an opportunity for all the emerging economies. Manufacturing will move to US and US companies should adopt ex-China strategy.
He is a dear brother of mine, because of him I have learned many things about the culture of my ancestors. We disagree on the future direction of our peoples but we agree that we want them to prosper and fulfil their true potential. I will continue to engage and entertain dear brothers like you, @Bhaijaan @Rajdeep bhai in the hope we can find some common ground which will in turn provide direction to the rest of the masses.
Trump is a maniac. I am not sure ANY country will want to get into bed with the US after his recent behaviour. I am also surprised that Indians see this as an opportunity at the expense of their neighbour, China.
We are doomed!
I think a lot of countries recognised these tariffs would be impractical in the real world and played down the significance. Even if a few like the EU and Canada served up some bombastic statements, they stayed away from actually making the situation worse.
Much appreciated Deadly bhai,
Your brother from Bharat will always make dua for you. Next time i am at the Ganges for offering the holy Pind-daan & Tarpan to my ancestors, i promise to make one additional offering in the name of all my Pakistani, Bangladeshi friends for their ancestors as well. Who knows maybe the roots are connected and some of us share common ancestors few centuries back. I will consider it my great honour for the friendships formed.
Who knows so far in the future? As it stands today, yes the US can either force the sale of Tiktok or massively kill the valuation by denying access.
For the sake of the Ummah it is just as well not every Indian has Bhaijaan's wisdom, otherwise Pakistan and Bangladesh would have been subsumed back into Bharat within next couple of decades. No wonder gulf Arabs are lining up to lavish praise on Modi's BJP.
The UK (like India) is also lucky in a sense. Two-thirds of your exports to the US are in the form of services - stuff like Financial and Professional services. Trump doesn't really seem to count these in his calculation of the Trade deficit. India also got away with not getting stuff like IT services and Business Process Outsourcing services not being counted. The emphasis for some weird reason seems to be on manufacturing and agriculture.
I think they escaped for a couple of reasons
Apple airlifts 600 tons of iPhones from India ‘to beat’ Trump tariffs: report
Analysts have warned that US prices of iPhones could surge given Apple's high reliance on imports from China.www.dawn.com
Had said this a few days back when this discussion started, that it was more about China than anyone. China is viewed as a national threat, a long term security threat and a global threat. Much more about tariffs. Here's a BBC link that seems to confirm this :

leaders we’ve had though. He has been the statesman we’ve not had as PM for decades, the other leaders we’ve had would have been on all fours for Trump but Starmer has dealt with Trump like how a father should deal with an over-excited child. On a more local level I didn’t vote Labour - not that it would have mattered anyway, Labour won in my area and has for years, but since he came into power there’s a new pavement on my road, and the neighbouring street has a new road altogether (hope we’re next due to the horrible potholes). He mentioned there could be some flexibility on how the petrol/diesel ban is implemented which is good news and I hope more is done to protect the legacy of ICE motors, it makes me cringe to see that electric BMW advert on YT all the time, their gov seems like bigger twats when it comes to enforcing the net zero propaganda. I was asked to complete a survey recently which was heavily focussed on investment in science & technology, not sure if they targeted me at random or due to an awareness for my connections to the industry, but there are encouraging signs he wants to move the UK forward and improve the growth of STEM. Our old friend @Robert was a big advocate of Keir for all these reasons and he has been proven right, and as much as I like JC; I can’t fathom how he’d deal with all the big fish on the international stage.
Trump’s steep tariff hike on China creates a prime opportunity for India, with its lower 10% tariffs giving it an edge. As global trade shifts and power dynamics intensify, India’s success hinges on a sharp strategy—upgrading infrastructure, simplifying regulations, and securing U.S. trade deals—to turn this moment into a lasting victory.
Ind foreign policy is great, a non aligned policy. Relationship with all countries without taking sides. Country first approach and thats how it should be ! Only country in the world to be friends with Russia and US ! Friends with both Israel and recognizing Palestine as well. Friends with both Israel and Iran too. A great neutral non aligned policy !
It's like someone trying to please everyone at once but failing to stand up for themselves when it actually matters. India is playing neutral because deep down, it knows it can't hold its ground. Even you, as an American, know China is the real challenge for the US, not India. And we both know who will be the first to kiss Trump's tashreef when things get serious.Ind foreign policy is great, a non aligned policy. Relationship with all countries without taking sides.

Absolutely, it was market manipulation straight from the Oval Office. Technically illegal, but in Trump’s America, illegal just means optional if you're in power.
Who is denying that ?? everyone knows China is the threat to US and so you are seeing all these Trump actions ( and China is not backing down per you LOL ) . Ind has never aspired to be a global superpower , so for you to even claim something like this just shows Modi must be doing something right! And yes, will be the first to kiss Trump's whatever - so what ?? If it benefits the people of Ind, thats how it should be. No ego for leaders when representing their country unlike say that Zelensky guy who is taking Ukraine to the swamps.. People first, country first for any leader with no egos..Simple as that..It's like someone trying to please everyone at once but failing to stand up for themselves when it actually matters.

Why even bother debating someone whose every reply reads like a diary entry during a meltdown, such as this one? There’s no substance, just emotional outbursts dressed up as arguments. No facts, no logic, just vibes and desperation. You don’t debate that, you just point, laugh, and move on.
Pot calling the kettle black , just like in the other forums . No valid discussion, just hyperbole.
I begrudgingly have to agree with you, there wasn’t a lot though for him to improve on when you look at the state of our country and the
However, and a big However, I can’t ever support this guy because he has isolated the Muslim community in the UK and I can’t accept how he treated the MP’s who voted in favour of a cease fire. Plus I don’t feel safe when people like him in power pick & choose various groups over the national interest and don’t treat the population equally; which is in conflict with what a Labour government should stand for, it’s ironic isn’t it when under Labour we’ve been involved with some of the worst crimes to humanity, the Tories are evil, but Labour have a lot more blood on their hands. Until he makes changes in this area, maybe I will vote Labour in the future.

We don't care if USA win or china ( Highly unlikely) but india should take as much as advantage they can takes with good strategy.
No one can have a de-hyperbolized discussion with you or your kind when your entire argument starts and ends with “Trump made America great again” by slapping tariffs on everyone, only to roll them back faster than you could type your next excuse.Pot calling the kettle black , just like in the other forums .

I see some jealousy here instead reality. Yes Pakistan will come for manufacturing. Keep living in la la land.
People keep missing the plot, China, like the US once did, is shifting into a service based economy. The difference? China’s doing it smarter. While the US was off playing world police, burning trillions in endless wars, and India’s still busy shadowboxing with the ghosts of the Mughals, China was building. That’s the difference between strategy and distraction.
Everyone should think twice before doing business with Pakistan/ bangladesh after what is happening with top brand like KFC / Pepsi etc .
I would agree with much of your assessment and to add...

I like what you have said in the bolded. That's ultimately what it comes down to.
agree, trump is somewhat of an anglophile, i think the only choice the UK has of securing long term prosperity is greater economic integration with the USA. its tough because trump is so volatile, but if you can promise him a few pics with the king he might just be swayed lol. my long term hopes for the UK arent huge, but other than trying to suck up to the US, i dont see many other options.
You are mistaken. @Cpt. Rishwat is actually trying to help you snap out of the la-la land you are living in currently.I see some jealousy here instead reality. Yes Pakistan will come for manufacturing. Keep living in la la land.
I honestly don't get this weird obsession people have with China owning $750Bn of US Treasury Bonds and how it gives them power over the States. What does that matter? That's money already borrowed by the US government with varying dates of maturity.Nice to see China still not backing down, unlike some Vishwaguru who is busy kissing tashreef to stay in the good books. China owns $750 Billion of US bonds.
