India vs. Colombia: How We Handle Trump's Immigration and Tariff Threats:In a world where global diplomacy is often a game of power, recent events have highlighted the stark contrast between how different nations respond to U.S. pressure—particularly under Trump’s leadership.

India is the fifth-largest economy in the world and home to 1.4 billion people—a massive market that any country, including the U.S., cannot afford to ignore. Yet, when Trump pressured nations over immigration and trade,Colombia fought back, while India complied. Why?

Colombia Stands Firm, India Bows Down:When Trump decided to deport illegal immigrants to Colombia, the country refused to accept them, standing its ground. Not only did they reject the move, but they even sent their own aircraft to take their people back—a strong statement of sovereignty.

Trump, furious with Colombia’s defiance, threatened a 25% tariff on Colombian goods. But Colombia didn’t flinch; they immediately announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products. A bold move that signaled they wouldn’t be bullied.

Now, compare that with India’s response.

India Accepts What Colombia Refused:When it came to India, Trump’s approach was similar. The U.S. sent illegal immigrants as if they were terrorists, and instead of resisting like Colombia, India quietly accepted them. There was no protest, no diplomatic pushback—just silent compliance.

Then came the tariff war. Trump declared a “reciprocal tariff” strategy, essentially demanding India lower its duties on U.S. goods. And guess what? India gave in. Instead of taking a stand, our government reduced taxes on American products while getting little in return.

Why Can’t India Stand Up Like Colombia?

The real question is: Why do we lack the guts to push back?

Colombia, a much smaller economy, had the courage to resist Trump’s bullying tactics. They stood up for their dignity and sovereignty. But India, despite being one of the world’s biggest economies, chose to surrender instead of fighting back.

This raises serious concerns:

• Why do we accept illegal immigrants while others refuse?
• Why do we reduce tariffs under U.S. pressure?
• Why don’t we take a strong stance like Colombia?

It’s time to rethink our foreign policy. Being a major global power means standing up for our interests, not just appeasing powerful nations. If a country like Colombia can challenge the U.S., why can’t we?
