If there's one thing evident from the history of Washington's approach to India, it is this:
Insults & public pressure will be inefficient, ineffective, and even counterproductive.
Lutnick says India will say sorry and come to the table, and Trump will deal with them on his terms. Clearly, India is their stress ball right now, when they can’t do anything against China Russia, they will try to squeeze India.
During the Truman admin, US says it “lost China” to communism (1949).
Today, Trump admin says it “lost India” to “deepest, darkest China.”

India has of course not been “lost” to China. But this continuous overheated rhetoric from the president is galvanizing his base & driving narratives against India on sensitive issues like visa and immigration. With the relationship in crisis, this isn’t merely background noise.
Because of President Trump's tariffs and rhetoric, many of the world’s pivotal states are moving away from America and toward China.
It might be the greatest own goal in modern foreign policy.
