The USA is entitled to take that position - that it will “never put the international order above the interest of the United States”. Rubio is also correct that nation states will act in their own interest.
But how do you reconcile this with threatening sanctions on India over

Trump signs a Bill that will probably torpedo relations with India for a long time.
And a broadside at NATO, including a signal that the US may reconsider what it calls a “one way street”. (Worth noting that the only time Article 5 was invoked

A storm brewing in the US after Trump bans CNN, MSNow and Politico from the White House. Other media outlets will also be banned later.
Critics say this violates the First Amendment and freedom of the press.

It’s not just Canada or the EU.
I wonder how long it will take before India-US trust and relations return to what they were just 2 years ago.
It took nearly 35 years to repair the damage caused by Nixon back in 1971!

The irony of the situation is that India WAS reducing its oil purchases from Russia - before Trump attacked Iran, an act that led to the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz.
With Middle East oil drying up, what are India and China supposed to do?

By a margin of 262-158, the US House of Representatives passes a bill that could lead to 100% tariffs on India, China and other buyers of Russian oil.
Now it’s in Trump‘s hands.
If he goes ahead and pulls the trigger, then it would be a serious setback to India-US ties.

Which makes the impending American vote on punitive 100% tariffs even more baffling.

This is going to be a critical vote.
If the US singles out India (along with China) for these punitive 100% tariffs, it will be a huge setback for what was once called “the defining partnership of the 21st century” by both Indian and American policy makers.
