Despite
the show of bonhomie with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit last
week, there is little love lost between US President Donald Trump and India's
tariff regime. In an interview with Fox
News, Trump said he had made it clear to the Prime
Minister, "Whatever you charge, I’m charging."
Besides
tariffs, a weapon Trump has employed on the strongest allies, the US President
seems to have "broken the Collective West”. Trump is set on negotiating a peace deal with Russian President Vladimir
Putin, leaving Ukraine and Europe in the lurch. But the concept of a
"warring West" may not be as incredulous as it sounds according to media report.
