Xinhua News Agency of Singapore wrote on the evening of August 8: "President Trump of the United States imposed a secondary tariff of 25% on India's purchase of Russian oil, indicating that he is using tariffs as a diplomatic tool to influence international disputes. Analysts believe that China and India are unlikely to stop buying Russian oil due to tariff threats, and Russian President Putin will not agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine; the tariff strategy may instead pose a risk to Trump's midterm elections next year."
An increasingly clear sign is that the U.S. extreme pressure is pushing China, India, Russia, Brazil and other countries into its opposing camp. These countries are accelerating their approach, deepening cooperation to jointly counter America's unilateralism and hegemonic actions. From the coordination among BRICS countries to practical cooperation in energy and trade, the U.S. "tariff diplomacy" not only fails to achieve the expected goals but also forces more countries to unite in resisting its hegemonic logic. This trend is definitely not beneficial for the United States - when more and more countries no longer submit to American hegemony, its attempt to control the global order through economic pressure is gradually failing.
