In a move set to impact bilateral trade, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the imposition of a 25% tariff on goods imported from India, beginning August 1. The decision underscores ongoing trade tensions between the two nations.
Despite referring to India as a friend, President Trump expressed dissatisfaction over the limited business engagements due to India's high tariffs. According to Trump, these tariffs are some of the highest in the world.
He further criticized India for its stringent non-monetary trade barriers, calling them the most challenging globally, a sentiment he shared through a post on Truth Social. This announcement could reshape the trade landscape between the U.S. and India.
