In a bold move signaling a shift towards protectionism, US President Donald Trump has unveiled a sweeping 25% tariff on Indian goods, a decision likely to create significant ripples in global trade.

The tariff, part of an executive order impacting over five dozen countries, coincides with ongoing US-India trade negotiations and follows Trump's vocal criticism of India's trading relationship with Russia.
