Scotch was available in India and until the FTA had an import duty of 150%
Therefore it's not an embargo is it.
And if it was meaningless why announce increase to 245
245 is the total including existing tariffs from Trump's first term + tariffs imposed by Biden + whatever to date
So add 100 to whatever figure people are quoting because the figure quoted is only from tariffs imposed in this term subject to further negotiations
Source
So 245 - 115 is how much ?
Or to be more precise, it is 100 + x where x is whatever they reduced it to now

Also it's reminding people what the total is
But I note articles announcing the reduction fail to mention pre-existing tariffs

Diplomatic statement. They did not deny that they won't allow US to mediate.Finally, India makes it official: Trump didn't broker India-Pakistan ceasefire | India News - The Times of India

They are just saying what the issue is according to them. They didn't say US can't mediate on this.
This headline is also a bad one. Indian diplomats are saying we just talked to Trump and not Pakistan. Just because there was no meeting of the 3 together, doesn't mean Trump didn't broker it. You can do that by talking to the two parties one at a time.
Any way it's irrelevant to split hairs on this because no one in the global media will hear about this lol. If Modi explicitly took a strong stand against mediation that would have got some traction.

He doesn't have to. Just don't cooperate. What mediation?
He also addressed this by saying no talks other than vacating pojk.
Trump has been misinformed and it will be corrected.

We are talking about a sovereign country, not a child trying to disobey its parents. US cannot even be SEEN to be mediating in India-Pak. It should have been immediately corrected strongly. Lack of Indian response suggests Indian government has likely agreed for mediation behind the scenes. Won't be surprised as Modi has always been under the delusion that Trump is his friend. I had already predicted this during the tariff fiasco.

That would not be correct and the presser today clarified it. GOI has decided they will address these issues behind closed doors.
They do have a good equation together.

Both are just doing their "mann ki baat".
Common theme betweent Modi and Trump are - Rally addict, camera obsession, sworn enemy of the press, tag line hoarder.
Last but not the least "social media hustlers".
This is the response I get from my local LLM model. I've to work on my llm tuning.

Nice way of putting it
Or what is a populist. Both have a ear to the ground and are products of the time we live in
I support both on this point. Because it gives either a voice and an effective remedy against being taken out of context. It works as a fact check for them
I've always advocated to listen to the man when it comes to Trump. Essential. There is just too much hate around that guy. Modi in comparison doesn't have it as bad but then modi doesn't go to the extent Trump does to hog the limelight. Modi doesn't feel the need to respond to everything if perhaps a time when to.

Apple is investing a lot in the US tooAt a business event in Doha, the US President said he had a "little problem" with Tim Cook. "I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good. You are coming up with $500 billion, but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India. You can build in India, if you want to take care of India because India is one of the highest tariff nations in the world, so it is very hard to sell in India," the US President said."Don't Want You Building In India": Donald Trump To Apple CEO Tim Cook

Here's another common theme -
Just a mention of their names will cause their critics (even the apparent sane ones) lose all sense of logic, rationality and end up looking for opportunities to name-call & criticize whatever it is.
There is some news about him mentioning India agreed to zero tariffs on US products. Based on that stock market sentiment seems to be positive.At a business event in Doha, the US President said he had a "little problem" with Tim Cook.

There was hyped news about UK FTA but in the end the scotch & premium car tariffs doesn't have much impact on the common man. Are there any similar product categories where we can give concessions to keep that guy happy but doesn't really affect our domestic producer's bottomline.
