As Donald Trump prepares for a key meeting with Xi Jinping, his administration is pressuring India to side with the U.S. in the escalating trade war with China. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says America "expects" global partners, including India, to rally behind Trump. But Beijing is pushing back too—demanding that India restrict rare earth exports to the U.S. and avoid using them for weapons. With tariffs rising, trade tensions deepening, and India caught in the middle, this is fast becoming more than a trade dispute—it’s a geopolitical power struggle.
