President Trump has signed an executive order imposing a 25% "penalty" tariff on India for purchasing Russian oil—while taking a noticeably softer stance on China. Despite U.S. dependency on Chinese imports for pharmaceuticals, electronics, and agriculture, Trump appears reluctant to provoke Beijing. Critics point out the double standards, as Brazil and India face tariff threats while China, which holds $700B in U.S. debt and dominates vital supply chains, remains untouched. Is this economic strategy—or election-year caution?
