Trump’s biggest foreign policy mistake
www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/15/trump-india-tariffs-insults-mistake/
The United States is often criticized for orienting itself toward the short term, for being too quick to change course. In fact, on important issues Washington has been remarkably consistent in its foreign policy. Consider the strategic outreach to India that began during the Clinton administration and was expanded in a bipartisan manner over 25 years — until now. President Donald Trump’s sudden, inexplicable hostility toward India reverses policies pursued under five administrations, including his own previous one. If this new attitude holds, it might be the biggest strategic mistake of his presidency so far.

Targeting India over Russian oil purchases smacks of selective enforcement. The European Union’s large imports of Russian energy products, especially liquefied natural gas, have been left untouched. Such European imports not only contribute more to Russia’s coffers than India’s purchases, but Europe spends more on Russian energy than on assisting Ukraine.
