You're right, the USA can only import from this list of countries it has not tariffed:

  1. /sarcasm

Jokes aside, India would certainly be smart to keep their biggest adversary, China, weak both economically and militarily.

While this is true, you have to think on diplomatic terms too. The number of countries that will actually deal with us long-term is rapidly falling because President Sundown might wake up tomorrow and decide to tear up your trade deal or defense agreement or whatever. I can definitely see India saying "no" purely because of that.

As much as the orange asshole is burning bridges, trusting China or Russia with no deterrent is the apex of stupidity.

Idk how many times they need to expand their border before people realize they want to kill everyone and take everyone's land.
