Maybe I look this matter from a different angle which is "could be much worse" or "is a little better than before (during Trump's era)". Btw: what are the "different reasons" concerning 25% extra tariff on India? I must have somehow passed by that information.

I read a report that Trump put the extra tariffs on because of India being in BRICS and getting closer to China. I don't think it could be much worse. Do not forget Trump got Johnson to stop aid to Ukraine for seven months when Biden was president. Trump has no love for Ukraine or its people.

OK; BRICS may be one reason for the tariffs. I know Trump's bad history and I think that he hates Zelenskyi because the earlier blackmailing episode. But on the other hand Ukraine gets arms from USA now and I think that's the main thing at the moment. That situation could be much worse.

With an extra 10% put on the price of the arms, also don't forget the restrictions that has been put on their use. Trump has not put any sanctions on Russia. He has on Ukraine, and what about the sanctions he was putting on China for buying Russian oil, I judge Trump by his actions, not words.

I know all that and I don't like Trump at all which You may have noticed if You have read my earlier comments about him. All I'm saying that situation could be much, much worse than it is now.
