Trump, Iran, and the Economic Shockwave Heading Towards India: What Lies Ahead?

The conflict between Iran and the United States is no longer just a military or geopolitical issue. Its effects are rapidly spreading through global oil markets, trade routes, currencies, and financial systems. As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue, India may face one of the biggest economic challenges in recent years. Rising crude oil prices, a weakening Rupee, widening trade deficits, inflationary pressure, capital outflows, and a possible "Triple Deficit Risk" could reshape the country's economic landscape. The battlefield may be thousands of kilometres away, but the economic shockwaves may eventually reach every Indian household.

Donald Trump: The Gorbachev of America? How Tariffs and "America First" Could Pave China’s Path to Superpower Status

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 is often attributed to Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring), which, despite their good intentions, inadvertently accelerated systemic weaknesses. Today, Donald Trump’s economic nationalism—particularly his tariff-driven "America First" agenda—risks triggering a similar unravelling for the United States. While Trump’s policies are framed as protecting American jobs and industries, they function more like an "America Only" strategy that isolates the U.S., destabilises its economy, and empowers rivals like China. Trump’s tariffs harm U.S. citizens, benefit foreign producers, and position China to dominate the 21st-century global order.

Trump’s Economic Bunker Buster Bill Targets India, Russia, and China

The bill’s core is simple yet devastating: any country trading with Russia will face a 500% U.S. tariff. If India imports oil from Russia, every Indian export to the U.S. will be hit with a 500% tax, effectively wiping out India’s exports. China, which imports oil, gas, uranium, and rare earth metals from Russia, will also be affected. When Europe stopped buying from Russia, India stepped in, importing crude oil, refining it, and selling it to Europe, easing their energy crisis. But India’s close ties with Russia are increasingly frustrating the U.S.
