WSJ: Trump’s global tariffs, especially on Indian imports, have caused multinational manufacturers to pause or terminate their plans to shift production out of China - a top goal of... the Trump administration

None of this is new or unsurprising, btw. It's the same thing that happened when Congress let GSP expire (effectively increasing US tariffs on China manufacturing alternatives):

Every night I go to bed thinking tariffs are stupid. And then I wake up and realize that yesterday I didn’t fully appreciate how stupid they really are.
The best explanation is just that they’re idiots who don’t know what they’re doing. The supposed justifications for the tariffs change all of the time and mostly don’t make sense anyway.
Americans should stop preaching India for buying Russian oil, when their own maniac president is going around hugging terrorists and begging Nobel Prize! The east rightly doesn’t trust US for its double standards. Your problems are not everyone’s problems, go solve them yourself!

How does the leadership of a sophisticated economy like the US not understand simple game theory. That there is a reaction for each action and it can and should be anticipated...but of course that would take logic and actual thought...impossible for those that act on impulse!
Shifting manufacturing from China to India has not been a goal of the current administration. What are you on?
Instead of adopting an "anywhere but China" policy, with tariffs only in China, encouraging production to move elsewhere, reducing America's reliance on a rival, he adopts a "nowhere but China" policy by tariffing everyone — some even more than China.

Trump is good at one thing, making a fool out of the already fools and losers of the highest order i.e, american right wing. More retarded than the American left. Trump will take down America forever, and that's why, the world is silent. They don't want to alert others.
Ppl should ask themselves a simple question - how much anything made in USA would cost considering the difference in average salary and total lack of support infrastructure, you dont turn a simple rock into a iphone, its a huge chain, and each link will add up.

One can have a goal but what is the end game purpose and mission for all instead of one person and the wealthy.
China rising like phoenix and US alienating a friend like India , but the administration goal is Noble.
I'm going to enjoy the moment India withdraws from the 123 Agreement with the USA.
They are hurting India so badly.... picking on weak link... relationship will never be the same, trust has been broken. Few percentage who voted for will never do it again 😔
This is a pretty retarded take, Scott. Fuck India. Nobody in the administration ran on a MInGA platform.
Trump is an idiot . American people pay the tariff on imported goods not the country of origin. Tariffs are a tax on imported goods.
Shifting production out of China is a good idea. Shifting production to India is not a good idea at all. You can’t trust those people just like you can’t trust the Chinese.
