Belgian PM's Veiled Trump Tariff Jibe Draws Cheers in Mumbai

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever took a veiled swipe at Donald Trump’s tariff policies in Mumbai, drawing cheers after suggesting some leaders arbitrarily change trade decisions. Speaking at the India-Belgium High-Level Dialogue, De Wever mocked leaders who impose tariffs and reverse decisions unpredictably, saying, "They decide something on Monday, they revoke it on Wednesday, and they reinstall it on Saturday." The audience's applause confirmed they understood the target, though Trump was not named. De Wever praised PM Narendra Modi as a wise leader and backed the India-EU Free Trade Agreement, arguing it would protect economies from sudden trade disruptions and unilateral tariffs amid global uncertainty.
