Fareed's Take: The Damage Is Done—India Will No Longer Trust America After 2025 Crisis

Fareed's Take: The Damage Is Done—India Will No Longer Trust America After 2025 Crisis
In this video, we explore journalist Fareed Zakaria’s analysis of the deepening rift between India and the United States precipitated by recent diplomatic and trade tensions. Following President Trump’s decision to impose steep tariffs on Indian goods and penalize India for continuing to purchase Russian oil, longstanding strategic and economic ties between the two nations have suffered significant damage. Fareed Zakaria describes this as “Trump’s biggest foreign policy mistake,” warning that the bipartisan foundation of India-US relations built over 25 years has been severely undermined[1][3].
India’s reaction to these measures signals a historic shift, as New Delhi begins to hedge its global alliances by strengthening ties with Russia and even reconsidering relations with China under Prime Minister Modi’s multi-aligned foreign policy approach[1][4][5]. Despite this, some analysts argue that the deep-rooted cultural and democratic values shared by India and the US could temper the long-term impact on public trust[2].
The escalation risks not only bilateral cooperation but also coordinated efforts within the Quad alliance, threatening broader Indo-Pacific stability[4]. This video breaks down the causes, implications, and possible futures of this critical juncture in one of the world’s most important bilateral relationships.
