The poor nations of the world will have to bear the brunt of Trump’s wrong decisions: Seechewal

Rajya Sabha Member Balbir Singh Seechewal, commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement regarding the imposition of a 25% tariff, said that intimidating poor nations and economically exploiting them does not befit a powerful nation like America. He stated that while such tariffs will not significantly impact India, they will surely tarnish America’s image — a stain that history will remember. Speaking on Trump’s attitude, Seechewal remarked that when one gains weapons or wealth, instead of embracing people around the world, they start following a policy of fear and extraction. He warned that the poor countries of the world will have to bear the consequences of Trump’s wrong decisions.
Seechewal made strong remarks against U.S. President Donald Trump, even calling him a “bandit.” He recalled that Trump had earlier announced a 25% tariff, which was implemented on August 7, and has now announced an additional 25% tariff — revealing his true mindset. Trump’s statement that there will be no trade discussions until the tariff dispute with India is resolved reflects his approach.
Seechewal emphasized that India is no longer the same as before, when its arm could be twisted at will. India has faced economic sanctions in the past with resilience and will continue to do so in the future. He stated that the farmers and laborers have been feeding the nation’s 1.4 billion people, and that the people of India are hardworking and believe in honest labor. According to him, Trump cannot push India into an economic crisis merely by imposing such tariffs.
It is worth noting that during Trump’s second term, major changes have been observed, causing financial markets to stagger. Economic experts believe that if the current situation continues, the consequences could be extremely dangerous. If confidence in the U.S. dollar declines, major businesses may plan to leave America and shift to other countries. In such a scenario, it will be up to the American people themselves to strongly oppose Trump’s anti-global economic policies.
