Trump said on September 6th: "I don't care what India and Russia do. They can drag their dying economies to collapse together, I don't care. We have very little business with India, their tariffs are very high, among the highest in the world. Similarly, there is almost no commercial exchange between Russia and the United States. We'll keep it that way. Tell Medvedev - that failed former Russian president, who still thinks he's a president - to be careful with his words. He is stepping into a very dangerous area!"
Commentary: Trump has suffered significant setbacks in both the trade war with India and his mediation of the Ukraine-Russia war, and this post is a reflection of his frustration and anger. The US and India have extensive economic and trade relations, with the US being one of India's largest trading partners, and bilateral trade volume is huge, not as he said "very little business". India is seeking a balance between the West and China-Russia, unwilling to become a complete vassal of the US in containing China, which has caused the US to lose its "pricing power" over India, and Trump's remarks reflect his inner anxiety about this. In terms of mediating the Ukraine-Russia war, Trump had boasted of resolving the conflict in a short time, but the positions of Ukraine and Russia are vastly different, and his mediation plan ultimately failed. In this context, his threatening remarks towards Russia aim to salvage his image through a tough stance, but his hegemonic thinking and brutal approach will only further escalate international tensions and make the US increasingly isolated in the international community.
