Powerful American Senator and Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) has accused President Donald Trump of weakening America’s global standing and driving India toward closer ties with Russia and China through his tariff policies.

In a Senate floor speech, Durbin warned that Trump’s trade measures were hurting American families while reshaping global alignments. “President Trump’s tariff policies have pushed India away from us and toward our rivals. Instead of strengthening our hand, they are weakening our position around the globe,” he said.
