tariffs

Trump makes tall claims of using trade deals as leverage to stop the India-Pakistan conflict; however, the loudmouth US President has failed to strike a deal with India till now.

Donald Trump claimed India would be paying a 25% tariff on exports to the US, but that's misleading. In reality, US importers pay the tariff, often passing the cost to consumers through higher prices

Trump has been making loud promises, boastful claims, ‘Trump-eting’ his imaginary glories and peddling grandiose visions of MAGA to a world that is very well aware of the new multipolarity, especially in the Global South. Trump’s threats have not deterred China, Russia, and they won’t deter India either. 

India’s exports to the US face a 25% tariff plus a Russia-linked penalty. Key sectors may suffer short-term losses, but India’s domestic demand and diplomatic strategy could cushion the macroeconomic impact.

US President Donald Trump's imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on India also effectively exposes his lies about using 'trade deal' as a leverage to broker peace between India and Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.

In the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the US has extended its support to Ukraine by providing the Patriot air defense system which is a powerful tool that can detect and intercept incoming missiles. The close alliance between these two nations has triggered discomfort among other countries

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defiantly rejected Donald Trump’s demands to terminate the criminal trial of former president Jair Bolsonaro, condemning Trump’s accompanying threat of 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports as an assault on national sovereignty.

The BRICS nations have voiced "serious concerns" about the unilateral imposition of tariffs and non-tariff measures, in apparent reference to the US, which they deemed inconsistent with World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules.

Ahead of Donald Trump’s July 9 deadline for reciprocal tariff, Indian govt has firmly said that the country does not do trade deals based on timeline

In the aftermath of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, India has been buying oil from Russia at discounted rates. India fulfils around 88% of its crude oil demand through imports.
