Dollar Dominance, Trade Risks & Delhi's Balancing Act – Why Trump's BRICS Threats Matter For India
New Delhi: At a time when India inches closer to finalising a trade deal with the United States, a thunderclap from Washington has cast shadows over the celebration. US President Donald Trump's blunt message, posted publicly this week, warned that any country aligning with what he described as BRICS' 'anti-American policies' would face an additional 10% tariff without exceptions. As one of the founding members of BRICS, India finds itself at the centre of this growing storm. The recently concluded Rio de Janeiro summit of the bloc had laid out an ambitious declaration. There was no mention of the United States, but it still sent ripples through Washington. The BRICS statement challenged unilateral economic measures, defended multilateralism, voiced concern over tariffs that disrupt global trade and pushed for changes to global governance. These words appear to have stung. What followed was Trump's retaliation. On his Truth Social platform, he wrote that siding with BRICS' economic vision would come at a cost. The timing could not have been more crucial. He is expected to begin announcing trade deals from Monday, and India is among the countries on the list. In Delhi, this new tension is being watched with a mix of caution and calculation. Trade experts in the capital believe the core of Trump's anger lies deeper within the BRICS push for currency alternatives. For years, Russia and China have spoken of a new financial system to bypass the dollar. In 2022, Russia even floated a proposal for a BRICS reserve currency. Many Indian analysts suspect this is what triggered Trump's fury. The dollar remains Washington's most powerful economic weapon. The United States used it in 2012 to isolate Iran and again in 2022 against Russia. Any attempt to weaken its grip invites blowback. Despite its lack of political cohesion, BRICS still threatens that power by raising the idea of currency diversification. Indian economists see the bigger picture. The call for a common BRICS currency faces hurdles. Political will is scattered. China's dominance in the bloc sparks unease among other members. But the conversations alone unsettle Washington. That is why even vague references to multilateral financial systems draw fire. Meanwhile, India, experts are of the view, must walk a fine line. It is preparing for what is being described as a 'mini trade deal' with the United States. Reports suggest Delhi has already agreed to a baseline 10% tariff, but higher rates – up to 26% – remain on the table. Agriculture and dairy continue to be sticking points. At the same time, India cannot ignore its standing in BRICS. It shares that space with strategic rivals like China but also long-standing defence and energy partners like Russia. The bloc includes emerging economies looking for new trade paths. Turning away completely would be costly. Domestic industry lobbies in India are growing nervous. Sectors like textiles, pharma and information technology could suffer if Trump hikes tariffs further. Executives fear the fallout of a new wave of American protectionism. What adds to the anxiety is the unpredictability. Trump has changed course before. His sudden termination of a long-standing free trade pact with Vietnam has become a cautionary tale. Despite the tensions, some foreign policy voices in Delhi urge calm. They argue that BRICS has always been an idea more than an institution. Its members rarely share political agendas or geographical interests. But that has not stopped it from becoming a target. Others believe Trump's aggressive approach may backfire. His posture could push India to double down on groups such as BRICS and the Global South. But that path brings its own dilemmas, especially with China pulling the strings in many of these platforms. At the heart of it all, the challenge remains the same – can India navigate between its old allies and emerging coalitions without inviting punishment from either? With Trump's new tariffs looming, the question is no longer hypothetical. The countdown has begun.

HC questions prolonged detention in NE riots case
New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Tuesday wondered how long the prosecution can oppose bail for accused persons jailed in connection with the Feb 2020 riots that rocked northeast Delhi. During the hearing of one such case, the court asked Delhi Police how long the accused people could be kept in jail, after highlighting the passage of five years and the fact that arguments on charge were still not concluded in the terror case related to the 2020 riots. A bench of Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar posed the question to Delhi Police during the hearing of the bail application of Tasleem Ahmed, accused in a case related to an alleged larger conspiracy in the riots, lodged under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Ahmed, the owner of a coaching centre, is accused of being part of the larger conspiracy case in relation to the riots.

In matters like this, 700 witnesses, how much time can a person be kept inside?" the bench observed, pointing out the delay the trial is likely to take. The court made the query after the accused's advocate, Mehmood Pracha, raised the issue of delay in the proceedings in the case. Pracha said he won't be making submissions on the case's merit but would seek relief on the ground of parity in relation to the delay in trial. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One plan.

"He (Ahmed) was arrested on June 24, 2020… I have already spent five years (in jail)," Pracha argued, seeking urgent relief. He claimed his client never caused a delay in the case proceedings. Special public prosecutor Amit Prasad opposed the submission, arguing that the prosecution cannot be blamed for the delay in trial as there were several occasions when the matter was adjourned at the accused persons' request. Pracha went ahead to confine his argument to the delay in trial. The court will continue to hear arguments on July 9. The violence in northeast Delhi in Feb 2020 left at least 53 people dead and around 700 injured.
