Trump Hints At New Trade War With India

July 9, 2019

In a tweet, President Trump hinted at the possibility of new tariffs on Indian imports, saying that the US would no longer stand for India’s overly aggressive tariff regime.

To be sure, there are ulterior motives here, trade is probably a secondary issue. With Narendra Modi emboldened by his recent re-election, India has decided to move ahead with the purchase of a Russian missile defense system – which, by law, gives Washington the right to slap sanctions on India, which it has threatened to do – and its also refused to yield to America’s ban on Iranian oil exports. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-09/trump-hints-new-trade-war-india

Donald Trump made some comments last week at the G-20 meeting that also hinted at trade issues with India, so his tweet today shows that the matters were not resolved at the G-20 meeting.

Here is more information related to this:

Will the Modi government, grappling with a slowing Indian economy and keen to attract investment to revive it, take what some have called the Trump administration’s “bait” on trade and investment in return for opening up the huge Indian market to American goods?

Tensions over trade tariffs erupted last year when the Trump administration hiked tariffs on imports of aluminum and steel from several countries, including India. Then, in May, Trump scrapped the trade privileges that India enjoys under the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences program, claiming India was not providing American goods with “equitable and reasonable access” to its markets. India, which was the largest beneficiary of the program in 2017 with $5.7 billion in imports to the U.S. given duty-free status, struck back two weeks later, hiking tariffs on 28 items imported from the U.S. worth around $220 million.

The sums involved are small compared to Trump’s trade war with China, but they still had Indian officials both worried and puzzled over why Trump was targeting India, a relatively minor player in global trade. Was he grandstanding to play to his base back home? Or is he pressuring India to wring out real concessions on trade and other issues where Washington and New Delhi have their differences?

The U.S. is strongly opposed to India’s new rules mandating financial data storage on servers in India, which it has described as a nontariff barrier that “obstructs digital trade flow.” It is also pressuring India to turn down Chinese telecom giant Huawei’s 5G technology. Bowing to such U.S. pressure will put India at risk of falling behind other countries that have opted for Huawei’s technology, but accepting Huawei comes with its own security concerns, despite China’s offer to address them through a “no back door” pact with India. If Modi’s government takes the Trump administration’s offer to collaborate with India on 5G equipment manufacturing, it will put India firmly on the U.S. side of this contentious technology issue.

The Trump administration has also been pressuring India to scrap a $5 billion deal with Russia, signed last year, to purchase its advanced S-400 missile defense system, threatening sanctions on India under the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. The deal would have serious implications for India’s defense ties with the U.S., too, Washington has warned. 07/05/19 https://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/28005/why-would-trump-want-a-trade-war-with-india

Donald Trump is threatening tariffs and/or sanctions with much of the world.

Specifically, there is China, Russia, the European Union, Venezuela, Turkey, North Korea, Iran, and now India. Plus there is a threat to almost any nation that will try to trade with Iran.

One of the secular reasons given for Adolf Hitler’s loss of WWII was his decision to also try to fight Russia, while at the same time fighting the US and UK.

It is considered a strategic mistake to attempt to fight a multi-front war.

In terms of trade, that is what Donald Trump looks to be doing.

It is NOT that the US will lose on all fronts right now.

But ultimately, the US will lose.

While the US is a large market, the reality is that the European Union is a larger market.

And instead of publicly threatening tariffs with more nations, the EU is making trade deals with them.

Threats of tariffs and sanctions by the USA are getting the Europeans to work to improve trade in Asia (see EU makes world’s largest ‘free trade deal’ as some see EU moving towards totalitarian fascism and watch China’s Silk Road and Babylon the Great) and Latin America (see EU looking to make world’s biggest trade deal with South America).

Notice a tweet today showing deals that the EU either has or is working on:

Notice that about the main places not part of deals are Russia and some nations in the Eurasian Economic Union. Let me add here that the EU is trying to get a deal with them as well, even though it is not reflected in the above chart.

The EU is moving forward on trade.

As far as India goes, it was reported last week, that EU officials would be meeting with India on trade matters, this week while India is also working with other nations:

July 5, 2019

Senior officials of India and the European Union would meet here next week to discuss trade related issues, including the long-stalled proposed free trade agreement, sources said. Chief negotiators of the free trade agreement are expected to deliberate upon ways to resume the talks.

Negotiations for the pact, officially dubbed as the Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA), have been held up since May 2013 and have witnessed many hurdles.

Further, senior officials from ASEAN are also likely to hold discussions with Indian authorities on the proposed mega free trade agreement RCEP.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) bloc comprises 10 ASEAN group members (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Laos and Vietnam) and their six free trade agreement (FTA) partners — India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.

The talks assume significance as member countries are targeting to conclude the negotiations by the end of this year. https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/india/india-eu-officials-to-meet-next-week-to-discuss-trade-issues-4172301.html

Donald Trump’s tweet will tend to make India even more willing to accept a trade deal with the EU.

This would be consistent with prophecy.

The Bible prophesies the following in the Book of Revelation:

2 … Babylon … 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury. (Revelation 18:2,3)

The above is referring to the fact that nations of the world are prophesied to get wealthy trading with end time Babylon, which will be a European entity.

If you add up the numbers of people in the EU, India, China, Russia, and the other nations that Donald Trump has specifically mentioned sanctioning, that ends up being around half of the people in the world. If you add up their economic impact, they also represent most of the economic output of the world.

The financially indebted US is not powerful enough to take on the world economically by itself for very long.

Ultimately, this will not go as well for the USA as the Trump Administration hopes.

Trade will be a factor in what can be called World War III–and this war will be a conflict with Europe (cf. Daniel 11:39), but the ‘shooting’ aspect of this will not happen before 2023 (for some details, see When Will the Great Tribulation Begin?).

We continue to see steps that are leading up to it.
