In a major diplomatic setback for New Delhi, the United States has officially pulled out of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), an initiative headquartered in Gurugram, India.
This move, ordered directly by President Donald Trump, signals a dangerous shift in India-US relations. Here is why this decision is being seen as a direct attack on Prime Minister Modi’s foreign policy.
Why Did US Exit the ISA?
The Trump administration did not just leave quietly; they slammed the door shut with harsh words.
- The Accusation: The US State Department labeled the ISA (and 65 other institutions) as "Anti-American," "Wasteful," and "Redundant."
- The Reason: Trump claims these organizations are "captured by actors advancing their own agendas" and are a threat to US sovereignty.
- Financial Cut: The US argued that American taxpayer money was being wasted on these global groups without any benefit to the US.
A Direct Hit to PM Modi?
The International Solar Alliance was a joint initiative by India and France, launched to promote solar energy globally.
- It was one of PM Modi’s biggest diplomatic wins, positioning India as a global leader in climate action.
- By calling it "Anti-American," Trump has effectively mocked India’s leadership.
- Analysts fear that other countries, like Bangladesh, might now follow the US and exit the group to please Trump.
Is QUAD Next?
The video analysis raises a scary question: If Trump can leave the ISA so easily, is the QUAD (India, US, Japan, Australia) safe?
- Trump has already downgraded the importance of QUAD, with no major summit held in 2025.
- Experts warn that without "Institutional Armor" (binding rules), Trump could wake up one day and tweet that the US is leaving QUAD too.
Trump’s "Absolute Power" Strategy
While pulling out of alliances, Trump is massively increasing the US Military Budget to $1.5 Trillion.
- The goal is to back the US Dollar not with gold or trade, but with sheer military power.
- This indicates that the US is moving away from diplomacy and towards "Global Bullying."
Conclusion: India’s Patience Tested
From threatening 500% tariffs to exiting the Solar Alliance, Donald Trump is testing India’s patience every week. While US companies like Google and BlackRock still want to invest in India, the US Government is becoming increasingly hostile. India now faces a tough choice: Continue to tolerate these blows or strike back?
