President Donald Trump is proving once again that his America First trade agenda works. On Monday, Trump revealed that India has offered to cut tariffs on U.S. goods all the way to zero—a move he says should have happened decades ago.
Trump Exposes the One-Sided Trade Deal
For years, India has enjoyed a sweetheart deal, exporting billions of dollars’ worth of goods to the United States while slamming American businesses with punishing tariffs as high as 50 percent. Trump didn’t hold back on Truth Social:
“They have now offered to cut their tariffs to nothing, but it’s getting late. They should have done so years ago.”
Modi Cozying Up to Putin and Xi
The timing of Trump’s announcement was no accident. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was just seen in China laughing and holding hands with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at a Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit. The group is openly designed to challenge U.S. leadership and build a new world order that favors Russia and China.
While Modi played the role of “global partner,” Trump reminded the world that India still buys its oil and weapons from Moscow, not from America—and that it was his tariffs, not diplomacy, that forced India to finally blink.
Trump’s Strategy Delivers Where Others Failed
Trump highlighted the facts:
- India sells massive amounts to America but blocks U.S. products.
- U.S. businesses were locked out by India’s record-high tariffs.
- India leans on Russia for oil and weapons, ignoring U.S. alternatives.
- Only Trump’s hardline tariffs brought India to the table.
“This has been a totally one-sided disaster for many decades,” Trump wrote. “Now they want to change—but it’s late.”
America First Means Real Results
Unlike past administrations that caved to global pressure, Trump’s strong stance is paying off. India’s offer to slash tariffs proves that tough leadership works.
The White House and State Department haven’t commented yet, but one fact is clear: President Trump just scored another win for American workers and businesses.
