Trump raises India tariffs to 50% over Russian oil purchases [Update@post#255]

The first casualty is the massive dip in FX in last 1 year to keep the Rupee stable(Still at high levels), India needs to get its act together, force the reforms and get the FDI.

It's no secret PM Modi and President Trump are good friends.

PM Modi kept in touch with DT when Biden was in the office, this was acknowledged by Trump.

This all looks staged to me, just like the supposed spat between Elon and Trump.

I wonder if all this tariff drama is just for show,

DT: I am going to strengthen your image,

PM Modi: I am listening,

DT: I am going to increase the Tariffs on India for a period of time and announce it to the whole world, you can reject it and look strong, strengthening your political image even further than what are you currently at, in front of your audience for the time period I keep the Tariffs high. We will come to an agreement and compromises on a few options while this drama plays out and then I will normalise the Tariffs..

PM: Smiles, OK....

Meanwhile Pakistan:

hahah Modi sarannnndaaarrr, we won, Kashmir is ourrsss Saaaaarrrr

So, are you suggesting this is all staged, or is this meant to be satire post?
