iPhones now cost the same in India and US. Whatโs going on? Because the US is kinda taxing itselfโin the name of patriotism. Thereโs a silent economic shift happening. And weirdly, itโs not against China or Russia. Itโs actually against the US dollar. Trumpโs idea? Weaken the dollar โ make American goods cheaper โ push companies to bring factories back home โ revive manufacturing. Sounds like a bold move to Make America Great Again, right? But hereโs where it gets messy. Heโs put tariffs on 180+ countries, including India. And when you tax imports, prices go up at home. So now, an iPhone that used to be cheaper in the US? Almost the same price as here. Thatโs inflation doing its thing. But itโs bigger than just gadgets. Countries are now being labeled as friends, neutrals, or enemiesโpurely based on trade. Itโs no longer about who you vibe withโitโs about who helps your economy. Thatโs economic geopolitics in full swing. And historyโs not too kind about this either. Back during the Great Depression, similar tariff moves caused global backlash. We all know how that ended. So why does it matter to us? Because that โAmerican Dreamโ weโve all heard about? Itโs not the same anymore. With protectionism rising and alliances shifting, the West may not be as open as it once wasโfor students, workers, or startups. Maybe itโs time we rethink our direction. Instead of chasing opportunities out there, what if we just built better ones right here? โ Fix our education system โ Create real jobs that matter โ Retain talent โ Manufacture and innovate for the worldโfrom India The global game is changing. Itโs not about friendship anymore. Itโs about interest. Are we ready to play smart?
