Trump’s Tariff Tantrums: Is India Caught in the Geopolitical Crossfire? OPEN COLLAR EP#8

Описание: In this episode of OPEN COLLAR, Major Gaurav Arya is joined by Kanwal Sibal, Former Foreign Secretary & Ambassador (Retd.), to decode the so-called “Trump Effect” on global geopolitics and India’s strategic choices. They discuss aggressive US tariff policies, the surge in India’s FTAs with the EU, UK, UAE and the United States, and the risks surrounding the US–India trade deal. The conversation examines Western double standards over Russian energy, sanctions on Iran and the Chabahar calculus, and how New Delhi is balancing economic opportunity with strategic autonomy. It further explores the China–Pakistan axis, security dynamics in South Asia, and the broader impact of the Russia–Ukraine war on a rapidly shifting multipolar world order.
