It's really affecting Idia US trade now. I think it's mostly due to oil purchase.

The Outlook here is given for global trade. Rightly so, it took 3 economic powers in China, India and US. I can see that for the next century, global trade will rotate around them.

This is good stuff. The surplus must be from certain "unknown middle man" activities. Nonetheless this is why India is stronger diplomatically as opposed to Western bloc.

India is definitely getting stronger diplomatically. Which country doesn't want India to be in their side right now?! The surplus is there because US is just importing more from India. US want that China should not longer be the sole gamer in the world economics.

During recent shopping which included Dollar Tree and Walgreens I got jalapeños, berry jam, cashews, and a handful of other items in which I later noticed they were imported, from India. I don't think I've ever noticed packaged foodstuffs coming from India before -- at least not a variety of items like this.

India has been stepping foot into packaged food very recently. The companies have been trying for a long time but somehow they couldn't manage to cope with the extremely hard rules for food in Europe and USA.

Wow, India is doing a lot these past couple of years. This research of yours goes to show how far-reaching their clout is when it comes world economics. We just have to read between the lines. The deficit also show how dependent they are with regards to the rest of the data that you have presented.

Thanka for reading it deeply!
Yupp, you're right. The data does show a few pointers that need to be taken care of. Also it's really important not to be overly dependant on China.

It's right, India is increasing its dependence on China and U.S. needs to counterbalance this in global trade. So it's getting complicated for US

India is going to be the next super power as they are going to have a significantly growing middle class over the next two decades.
They are well positioned from my view for growth and wealth generation - lots of smart tech companies as well as they are resource rich as well.

The important metric for India is increasing income per capita and increasing agricultural productivity so more workers can pivot to non agricultural industries
