Former U.S. National Security Advisor John Bolton has issued a sharp warning that President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on India could prove to be an “enormous mistake.”
Bolton cautioned that the move risks damaging U.S.-India relations at a critical time, potentially pushing New Delhi to strengthen ties with Russia and China — two of Washington’s main strategic competitors.
India has been a key U.S. partner in countering China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific, and its long-standing defense relationship with Russia already provides Moscow with influence in the region. Analysts note that increasing trade friction now could erode trust and encourage India to diversify its alliances away from Washington.
Economic experts warn that the tariffs could hit bilateral trade, disrupt supply chains, and impact industries ranging from tech and pharmaceuticals to defense cooperation. Bolton stressed that strategic alignment, not economic punishment, should be the U.S. priority in its approach to India.
