In this hard-hitting interview, Subhash Chandra Garg, former Finance & Economic Affairs Secretary of India, slams Trump’s 25% tariff threat, the warning over Russian oil imports, and Trump’s controversial remark calling India a “dead economy.” Garg argues that a trade deal with the US was never realistic — and says India must stop wasting time chasing one. He breaks down why the tariff blow may hurt less than expected, and why protecting Indian farmers or cheap Russian oil is non-negotiable for India’s economic stability. From geopolitics to energy security, this is a no-nonsense take on India's trade strategy in a turbulent global landscape.
