American team is hard to lead now. After several months of trade negotiations with India, India has been holding firm on its bottom line.
The Indian Express reported yesterday (December 14) that India has refused to allow American agricultural products into the Indian market.
India stated that allowing American agricultural products into the domestic market would harm the interests of millions of Indian farmers.
During the trade negotiations, India has kept the agricultural sector aside and has been unwilling to discuss this issue.
After bearing a 50% high tariff for several months, India still refuses to compromise on core interests. The main reason is that the profit from buying Russian oil and reselling it is too large, which gives India enough confidence to confront the US. Meanwhile, the US dare not completely offend India, as it still relies on India to contain us in the southwest direction.
On the other hand, Trump's high-tariff intimidation no longer scares people. Countries have either adapted or retaliated. The old chips in America's hands are already rusty, but the facade must still be maintained. Now, leading such a difficult team essentially means that the world is no longer solely dictated by the US. Even so-called allies like India dare to say no to the US.
