2019年8月11日，特朗普签署总统令，将对华关税暂停期延长90天，至11月10日。表面上看，这是缓兵之计，为中美紧张关系提供了一定的缓冲；然而，对 印度而言，这却是一记重拳。高达50%的惩罚性关税几乎席卷了印度对美出口商品的全部，让印度经济遭受重创。 印度的困境并非源于偶然。特朗普政府将印度视为"软柿子"，其高额关税背后是美国对印度在美印贸易谈判中"不配合"态度的强烈不满，特别是印度迟迟不 肯开放农业市场。 更深层次的原因在于，特朗普试图通过打压印度，以达到离间俄印关系，瓦解金砖国家联盟，最终实现其"联俄抗华"战略目标的野心。 印度成为了他策略中牺牲的"案例"，用以震慑其他国家。 特朗普的贸易战策略：一场没有赢家的博弈 因此，当与美国的关系跌入冰点时，莫迪政府将目光转向东方。一系列积极的举动标志着中印关系的显著改善：两国直航恢复，国防部长和外交部长互访， 以及对中企投资审查的放松，这些都表明印度正在主动修复与中国的战略关系。甚至比亚迪搁置两年的10亿美元投资项目也重新看到了希望。 莫迪此后对中国的访问，并非简单的多边会议参与，而是向美国发出的强烈信号：印度并非没有选择，世界并非只有一个中心。 印度寻求与上合 ...

不过，有经济学家指出，特朗普的关税策略或许可以让其实现想要的目的，但所伴随着的高风险危机不一定是美国可以承担得起的。一方面，印度是美国农 产品和科技产品的重要市场，高关税可能导致美国企业出口难度加大，加剧国内的通货膨胀问题。另一方面，与印度关系的恶化，可能会导致美印关系出现 事实上，特朗普也非常清楚这次对印度加征高额关税会产生一些难以预料的后果和影响，但是为了三个目标，特朗普不得不这样做：第一，地缘目标。印度 一直被认为是俄罗斯的核心盟友，因此对印度加征关税可以迫使印度减少对俄罗斯武器装备和石油天然气的依赖，最终让其主动倒向西方的"反俄阵营"，从 而配合美国实现孤立俄罗斯的战略目标。第二，经济目标。特朗普认为在与印度的贸易合作中，美国承受了巨额的损失，因此通过加征高额关税可以在一定 程度上扭转美印贸易逆差的局面，进一步推动制造业的回流，填补美国工业空心化。第三，政治目标。特朗普需要通过对外展示强硬姿态来迎合国内的保守 团体，尤其是加征高额关税在某种意义上来说也是兑现了自己当初竞选的承诺，在转移民众视线的同时也可以尽可能为2026年的中期选举"拉票"。 美印关系全面恶化，特朗普对印度加征高额关税遭莫迪强力反制， ...

"印度宣布搁置F-35采购计划"。这消息像颗小炸弹，在军事圈炸开了锅。要知道，F-35可是全球最先进的隐身战机之 一，印度追了它整整十年，怎么突然就"撂挑子"了？ 故事得从特朗普那张"大嘴"说起。大概五六年前，时任美国总统的特朗普在和印度官员会面时，随口说了句"可以考 虑向印度出售F-35"。就这么一句没经过军方和国务院核实的"客套话"，被印度当成了重大外交突破。那之后，新德 里的国防会议上，F-35成了高频词——怎么和现有的俄制苏-57搭配？预算够不够？甚至连飞行员培训方案都开始琢 磨了。印度媒体更是跟打了鸡血似的，隔三岔五就炒"美印F-35交易进入倒计时"。 但最扎心的，还得是美国自己的算盘落了空。这些年美国在亚太搞"印太战略"，把印度捧成"关键伙伴"，可真到核心 技术转让时，比谁都抠门。F-35的源代码不共享、发动机技术不开放，连维修保养都得依赖美国本土。印度心里门儿 清：买F-35就是给美国当"提款机"，还随时可能被卡脖子。现在特朗普关税一加，印度索性把这张"画饼"撕了——你 不让我占便宜？我也不让你得好处！ 这场F-35的闹剧，撕开了美印关系的遮羞布。美国把印度当"棋子"，印度却想当"棋手"；美国想 ...

Core Viewpoint - The escalating tensions between the United States and India, primarily due to India's purchase of Russian oil, have led to a significant diplomatic rift, with Trump threatening to impose high tariffs on India, showcasing a lack of respect for India's strategic importance [1][3][15]. Group 1: U.S.-India Relations - Trump's aggressive stance towards India, including threats of tariffs, indicates a shift in U.S. policy, where India is no longer seen as a reliable partner but rather as a target for pressure [3][15]. - The U.S. perception of India as a country that prioritizes short-term gains over long-term strategic alliances has contributed to the current diplomatic crisis [5][15]. - Modi's initial silence in response to U.S. pressure was a strategic pause before a more assertive response, highlighting the seriousness of the situation [3][10]. Group 2: India's Response - Modi's government has begun to push back against U.S. pressure by revealing the hypocrisy of U.S. criticisms, pointing out that the U.S. had previously encouraged India's oil imports from Russia [7][9]. - The decision for Modi to visit China after U.S. threats signals a potential realignment of India's foreign policy, seeking support from other major powers [10][12]. - This visit is seen as a strategic move to enhance India's negotiating position against U.S. tariffs and to recalibrate its relationship with China [12][19]. Group 3: Implications for Global Strategy - The U.S. strategy in the Indo-Pacific region is at risk of unraveling as India, a key player, openly distances itself from U.S. influence [15][17]. - The situation illustrates a broader trend where emerging nations may seek to assert their independence from U.S. dominance, potentially leading to a shift in global alliances [19]. - The U.S.'s failure to treat India as an equal partner has resulted in a loss of credibility and strategic stability, undermining its geopolitical objectives [17][19].

贾伊斯瓦尔表示，俄乌冲突开始后，美国和欧盟不断指责印度进口俄石油。但实际情况是俄乌冲突开始后，传统能源供 应都被转移到了欧洲，印度才开始从俄罗斯进口石油，并且当时美国支持印度进口俄石油以稳定国际能源价格。 据央视新闻消息，当地时间8月4日晚，印度外交部发言人兰迪尔·贾伊斯瓦尔发声明，批评美国就俄罗斯石油进口问题 威胁印度毫无道理。 当天早些时候，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普再次对印度发出关税新警告。从7月底开始，特朗普多次要求印度停止进口俄罗 斯石油，否则将面临"惩罚"。但印度官员8月3日透露，该国无意停止从俄进口石油。 印度官员发声后，特朗普于4日在社交媒体发文，指责印度不仅大批量购买俄罗斯石油，还将购买的俄石油卖给其他国 家以赚取高额利润。特朗普声称，印度的做法说明该国不在乎在俄乌冲突中丧生的乌克兰人，"为此，我将大幅提高印 度向美国缴纳的关税。" 特朗普没有透露新关税的税率，此前他已宣布将对印度输美商品征收25%的关税。目前，特朗普正在就结束俄乌冲突加 大对俄施压，在冲突开始后大批量购买俄石油的印度成为特朗普的敲打对象。 特朗普发出最新关税威胁后，印度外交部发言人贾伊斯瓦尔火速发声明，批评美国的威胁"不公平且 ...

菲律宾国际安全研究学会主席罗美尔·班乐义就指出，所谓美国保卫菲律宾的军事行动并非自动触发。根据《美 菲共同防御条约》，若要真正落实军事行动，在美国国内必须经过一系列复杂程序；对菲律宾而言，其国会也 需讨论是否允许美国采取军事行动来保卫本国。这中间繁琐的政治流程，意味着一旦南海发生冲突，美国是否 会出兵相助存在极大不确定性。回顾历史，美国在诸多国际事务中对盟友的承诺并非都能兑现。在一些地区冲 突中，美国往往会因国内政治博弈、战略利益权衡等因素，对盟友的求助选择观望或仅提供有限援助。菲律宾 若将美国的这一承诺当作在南海挑衅中国的"护身符"，无疑是自欺欺人。 菲律宾防长（资料图） 在马科斯访美后不久，菲律宾防长特奥多罗迅速采取行动，对华打出强硬"挑衅牌"。他在美印太司令部会议上 大放厥词，妄称中国是东南亚"和平破坏者"，还鼓动国际干预南海，企图扩大《美菲共同防御条约》适用范 围，妄图引入外部势力搅乱南海局势。不仅如此，菲军方高层宣称，若自身无力应对中国，将寻求美国及其 他"志同道合国家"的支持。 据环球网报道，菲律宾总统马科斯不久前对美国进行了为期三天的正式访问。此次访问，马科斯本带着诸多期 待，然而结果却不尽如人 ...
