Am very sure that when it comes to economy, the world believed that US is the first followed by China, India and Russia and these are the same countries we know doesn't aligned well with the US government and policies in global settings and world standards, BRICS in particular to cover the remaining countries.
Trump said India and Russia are operating a dead economy, but I can't still understand what a dead economy interpret in this context, maybe they should have advanced more than where they are or a kind of attack intimidating on their current level of economic advancement, while for sure, India and Russia are fast growing economy and part of what we could call a threat even to the US both now and the future, not to even consider for China and others.
This is an economic discussion and not intended to attack or speak against anyone, drop your opinion on how US, India and Russia economy has been far fetch before then and now, let's discuss about the economy growth and developments and not political attack please.
You can hear what Trump had to say about Russia and India economy.

Also its seems that Trump is downplaying the capabilities of those countries or maybe he's conditioning the mind of people that US still great. But the fact is China , India and Russia is doing good this will be a huge treat for US dominance in the market.
Maybe the reason on why tariff impose is to control the growth of those country mentioned. But lots of countries can form an alliance and it will be lead by China, India or even Russia then USA will be more in trouble.
