Is President Trump\u2019stariff policy selectively targeting India with highesttariffrateon Indian exports to the USjusta hard bargaining tool? Does the \u2018Trump White House\u2019sembrace of the Pakistani Government and, more particularly the most powerful Field Marshal of the Pakistani Army signal areduction of India\u2019s place in America\u2019s South Asia policy? Does the ability of China to arm-twist the Trump Administration by weaponizing rare earth and critical minerals to reduce the highest ever announcement of tariff rate on any country\u2014145% to 45%, set the limits on Trump&#8217;s Quad strategy in the India-Pacific? Is Trump\u2019s lenient approach to deal with Putin combined with punitive tariffs on Indiaa message that India-US strategic partnership no longer remains the same?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:27px;color:#313131;\">These are the issues that indicate that the upward trajectory of India-US strategic partnership seems tobe atleast temporarily halted. India does not occupy a priority of place in President Trump&#8217;s foreign policy strategy. The belief in the strategic circles in India that the Trump 2.0 Administration would be better for India, oratleast less problematic, has proven tobe mistaken. The conviction in the foreign policy community that the personal rapport between President Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi would alleviate the strategic collaborations between India and the United States too has turned out to be specious.<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/IN\/ITV-Network\/The-Sunday-Guardian\/Newspaper\/\" alt=\"cover-img\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"cover svelte-1tmct67\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769361132_25_1.jpg\"  alt=\"The Sunday Guardian\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mgd__lhd__cover__logo mgd__lhd__gold svelte-1tmct67\" src=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/static\/icons\/MG_Icon.svg\" alt=\"Magzter Gold Title\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p class=\"cnt__title svelte-1tmct67\">This story is from the January 25, 2026 edition of The Sunday Guardian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cnt__title svelte-1tmct67\">Subscribe to Magzter GOLD to access thousands of curated premium stories, and 10,000+ magazines and newspapers.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/magztergold\/checkout?plan=2\" id=\"subscribe-story\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">SUBSCRIBE NOW <\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"cnt__ft svelte-1tmct67\">Already a subscriber? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/login\/email\" class=\"signin svelte-1tmct67\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign In<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sunday Guardian | January 25, 2026 Future Presidents of the United States may continue to adopt Trump\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[124207,124204,72,124211,113,124202,124201,61,124210,60,709,124205,124198,124203,124197,124209,124199,124208,124206,124200],"class_list":{"0":"post-263499","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-android-magazine","9":"tag-best-magazine","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-digital-magazines","12":"tag-economy","13":"tag-free-magazine","14":"tag-free-magazines","15":"tag-ie","16":"tag-ipad-magazine","17":"tag-ireland","18":"tag-magazine","19":"tag-magazine-subscription","20":"tag-magazines","21":"tag-magazines-for-smartphones","22":"tag-magzter","23":"tag-online-digital-magazine","24":"tag-online-magazine","25":"tag-online-pdf-magazine","26":"tag-pdf-for-smartphones","27":"tag-pdf-magazine"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=263499"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/263499\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=263499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=263499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=263499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
