1. Making friends wherever they go.

2. Maybe tell your boss to cut down on tariffs. Now that they’ve discovered gas in the Andamans, US is interested in fixing India. Lol!

3. GOP to India: You are being liberated. Please do not resist. 

4. Lutnick is the bad cop to Trump’s occasional good cop when it comes to India. Geopolitical situation has been reduced to a new episode of Law and Order: SVU.

5. Fix your own country first. USA is one step away from becoming 1940s Germany.

6. What could Indians possibly need from USA?

7. Open. Your. Country. Stop. Having it be closed.

   Gee, where did I heard that before…?

   *Japan, PTSD-ing in the corner*

8. US picking a fight with India is one of the most dumbass things to do

9. American bureaucracy is as dimwitted as their President.

10. Focus on fixing America, which you broke.

11. Fix India? Brother fix your own country first. You are literally breaking any or every relationship your country had just for the sake of it.

12. Does he mean “fix it” like they’re planning to “fix” Portland?

13. He is going to tax Americans again. Isn’t it?

14. New Delhi need not do anything New Delhi doesn’t want to. No one is harming America but the president thats allegedly a sex offender.

15. Historically, guys with names like “Howard” trying to “fix India” has never gone poorly in any way.

16. Yeah you drove them into an alliance with China and Russia. Fixed!

17. Bro, fix healthcare for your people first.

18. Didn’t we just slap 50% tariffs on basically anything coming into the U.S. from India? Are we gonna threaten them with war now if they don’t capitulate to the American Fascist Party?

19. The states needs to stop thinking they are fixing the world and maybe look at themselves for a bit. Stop shooting your own population by the police, stop random school shootings, maybe educate the population, definitely think about providing health care instead of system of payment. Oh and maybe get rid of the authoritarian regime that is removing all your freedoms one by one while pissing on the constitution and restoring the United States to a time of great racism. Look in not out.

20. Or what? You’re gonna tax your citizen more lol?

21. Open our country? Open the epstein files first mate.

22. Nutlick at it again

23. I don’t get any of this belligerent trade talk from the US under this new administration.

    The US became the world’s most powerful economy through being free and open, using its soft power, encouraging competition etc.

    All this protectionism and threats are not going to work long term.

    I have some sympathy for the US trying to reshore some industries that are strategically important, but this could be done in a targeted way without threatening other countries.

    Putting tariffs on cheap foreign kitchen cabinets is not going to make America great again, it’s just going to isolate the US from the best benefits of globalism and cause inflation. It’s going to foster the creation of industries further down the value chain and have a negative impact on growth.

    Free markets work. It’s taxation that needs to be fixed.

24. Open what market? The average Indian isn’t lining up to buy US goods which are way more expensive than local or Chinese. US cars wont be a big seller in their current form both because they’re unaffordable and not practical for the majority of Indian cities. Ag would be destabilizing to a massive portion of India and or not culturally appropriate (beef and pork).

    Let’s be honest Lutnick is pushing oil and gas. Thats who is is really representing.
