The United States has announced a 25% tariff plus penalties on Indian goods, effective August 1, citing India’s high tariffs, trade barriers, and significant military and energy purchases from Russia. The move comes amid stalled trade negotiations between the two nations over market access for American agriculture and dairy products. US President Donald Trump made the announcement via social media, drawing reactions from opposition figures in India who questioned the government’s handling of diplomatic relations. Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal held a meeting to discuss the way forward, with India maintaining its stance on protecting sensitive sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. Talks between the two countries are scheduled for August 25th and 26th, while the Indian government is expected to issue a formal response. Former Finance Secretary Subhash Chandra Garg has criticized the tariffs as a pressure tactic, suggesting India pause negotiations until further clarity emerges. #ustariff #indiaustrade #donaldtrump #tradewar #indiausrelations #tariff #usindia #foreignpolicy #breakingnews #economicnews #maga #tradetalks #geopolitics #indiatoday #uspolitics #indianeconomy #ustariffs #sjaishankar #piyushgoyal #useconomy #russia #brics #makeinindia #export #import
