India and Brazil, facing Trump's harshest 50% tariffs, are deepening ties to triple their $12-billion bilateral trade. Government officials and business executives meet in New Delhi this week, exploring partnerships in agribusiness, biofuels, and defense. Economists warn Trump's policies could reduce both nations' growth by one percentage point. Vice President Geraldo Alckmin leads Brazil's delegation, including Petrobras and Vale executives, targeting coffee and ethanol markets. Both countries depend heavily on US trade as Brazil exports 12% to America, while India ships nearly 20%. Despite strengthening bonds through BRICS leadership, experts note they cannot fully replace US markets as they sell similar products and rely on China differently.
