Donald Trump is used to bullying countries around, just a couple weeks ago he strong armed the entire European Union into a trade deal that unquestionably gave all the power and leverage to the United States. But Trump\u2019s decision to sever America\u2019s relationship with India is one he will regret very soon. Trump\u2019s tense phone call with Modi helped unravel decades of US policy. But how big an error will this be for the US? Just listen to this prediction from Ashley Tellis, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cTrump\u2019s India strategy is really incomprehensible. This may turn out to be another one of those very costly whims of the president that the country will ultimately end up paying for.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As he\u2019s done so many times in his second term, Donald Trump is overplaying his hand and in the process, the United States has thrown away one of its most critical allies, pushing India straight back into the arms of its BRICS partners China and Russia. Honestly, the deterioration of US India relations is one of the most fascinating storylines to emerge so far in 2025. India\u2019s Prime Minister Modi was actually one of the first foreign leaders to visit the White House shortly after Trump took office for the second time. Many geopolitical experts actually predicted Trump would move closer to India and use the country as leverage against both Russia and India. Don\u2019t forget Trump wanted Apple to shift iPhone production from China to India and was all about embracing India as America\u2019s best friend just a few months ago. But as Trump proved with the recent shake down deal of the European Union, there are no true allies under the Trump administration and India is no exception.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cyrusjanssen.substack.com\/p\/why-india-dropped-the-us-for-china?utm_source=cross-post&amp;publication_id=255720&amp;post_id=172321345&amp;utm_campaign=1655621&amp;isFreemail=true&amp;r=b6biw&amp;triedRedirect=true&amp;utm_medium=email\" >TO READ FULL TEXT Go to Original &#8211;\u00a0cyrusjanssen.substack.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Cyrus-Janssen.webp\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-302205 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Cyrus-Janssen-e1756576544847.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/a><\/em><em>Cyrus Janssen is a US entrepreneur who writes about China, investing, and the future of our world.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 Aug 2025\u00a0&#8211; Trump Just Handed Beijing a Win You Won\u2019t Believe!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":278511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[180],"tags":[239,244,759,1638,253,249,70,1038],"class_list":["post-302204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brics","tag-brics","tag-china","tag-india","tag-narendra-modi","tag-putin","tag-trump","tag-usa","tag-xi-jinping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302204"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":302208,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302204\/revisions\/302208"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
