44% duties on #SriLanka, already reeling under Chinese #debtDiplomacy, will drive it even closer to #China.
Same with #Pakistan.
When they get crushed further and default on Chinese loans, #GwadarPort and the port in #Colombo will go to China.
#US is planning to get active in the region, starting with #DiegoGarcia to confront #Iran.
I hope #DUI hires at #Pentagon and brilliant #Harvard grads behind #Project2025 have thought through all of this.
