SCO Summit 2025: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China has given India a big success. The Tianjin announcement of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) on 1 September included a strong condemnation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, which sent a message that India and SCO member countries were united against terrorism. Pakistan is also a full member in this organization.

India’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier refused to sign a joint announcement at a meeting of SCO Defense Ministers held in Kingdao, China on 26 June. The reason for this was that it did not mention the attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, in which 26 people were killed, while the incidents were mentioned in the context of Pakistan.

Pakistan does not mention Pakistan in Tianjin SCO announcement

The name of Pakistan in the Tianjin SCO announcement was not taken in the context of the Pahalgam attack. However, all member countries condemned terrorism as a common threat. 10 permanent members including Russia, China and Iran signed this document.

‘Dual standard unacceptable towards terrorism’

In his address, PM Modi did not name Pakistan, but highlighted the issue of open support by some nations. He said, ‘India stands with solidarity against terrorism, and SCO can play an important role in this direction. Dual standards are not acceptable.

The Tianjin SCO announcement also clarified, ‘Members of the members strongly condemn terrorism in all forms and manifestations and consider double standards against terrorism as unacceptable. The international community is called upon to take action against terrorism and cross -border movement of terrorists. ” Also, the document said that the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April 2025 is deeply condemned and condolences to the families of the dead and the injured have been expressed.

India’s diplomatic victory amid America’s pressure

Apart from this diplomatic victory, bilateral meetings with PM Modi’s Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin of Russia proved to be important at the time of India’s growing trading tension with the US. Donald Trump had threatened to impose 50% heavy tariffs on India, which is based on India’s buying oil from Russia. India challenged this claim and clarified that it is not profitable. India’s Oil Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said that the purchase of oil from Russia of India kept the markets stable and prevented the prices rising.

According to reports, Trump is angry that the Modi government did not support his claim that he stopped the Indo-Pakistan war after the first time. India clarified that in bilateral matters, it does not take a decision under the pressure of any third party.

Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi also targeted

Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Tejashwi Yadav said that this government is ‘imitatory’, who only copies and who has no clear vision. He insisted that the grand alliance will work for equal development of all classes and people of the society and will move forward with the public.

On this occasion, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that the revolution started from Bihar itself and this journey of vote rights is also started from Bihar and is heard across the country.

Votes were stolen in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Lok Sabha, but will not allow this to happen in Bihar.

Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has responded to 50 percent tariffs applied to India for the first time. Mohan Bhagwat said that it is important to be our self -sufficient. Supporting the matter said by PM Modi, the RSS chief said that we have to promote Swadeshi.

Will have to work on social harmony. We start thinking about caste about human beings. It has to be eliminated from the mind.

Sarsanghchalak said that temples, water, cremation should not be distinguished for everyone. Self -sufficiency is the key to everything. Your country should be self -sufficient. Priority to the use of indigenous for self -sufficiency. The country’s policy should voluntarily behave internationally, not under pressure. This is indigenous.

Despite the difficulty of social harmony, it will have to be done; There is no solution other than that. Friendship in the deprived sections around you.

Jamaat-e-Islami Hind President Syed Sadatullah Hussaini has expressed deep concern over the decision of the US to impose 25 percent additional tariffs on India’s imported products. He described this decision as an inappropriate and unilateral punitive action against India and said that it is harmful not only to India but also for America and global trade.

Policy like punishment for India is not good: Jamaat President

The Jamaat-e-Islami Hind president said, “The policy like punishing India is not good, while many countries including the European Union are importing goods and energy from Russia. Every country has full right to decide its foreign and economic policy. Forcibly pressurizing is a dangerous imperialist attitude that weakens the cooperation of the whole world.”

Thousands of people will lose livelihood: Hussaini

He said that applying 50 percent tariffs will cause serious damage to areas like small industries, textiles, carpets and food products. This can take away the livelihood of thousands of workers. American consumers will also have to face expensive prices and low options. These incidents show that inner economic strategies can be made a weapon of external pressure.

He said, “Initially the protectionist policies adopted in the name of saving domestic industries later become a way to pressurize others. As countries are giving priority to national security, international trade system is shattering, which will cause long-term damage.”

India adopted Non-Aligned Policy: Jamaat-e-Islami Hind

He appealed to the Government of India to take this development as a warning and review your diplomatic approach. India now needs to adopt a balanced and non -aligned foreign policy. In the name of friendship of America or other imperialist forces, we should not compromise on our self -reliance and principles. The current policy has failed to fulfill our national interests.

Should India adopt a strategy? Hussaini told

He emphasized three important strategies for India. He said, “India should strengthen its economic relations with countries like Japan, South Korea, European Union and Australia. Also should increase connectivity to ASEAN, BRICS and regional groups to avoid such pressure in future.”

As a second strategy, he said, “India should lead to a balance among global economic forces, leading in economic groups like BRICS, so that no country can force independent countries.”

As a third strategy, India said, “India will have to take concrete steps towards strengthening manufacturing, agriculture and labor areas. Investment, infrastructure and human resource development within the country will have to increase so that the dependence on global forces is reduced.”

Business tension between India and America is once again in discussion. The US has implemented a total tariff on Indian goods. Peter Navaro, senior White House advisor, has sharply criticized India’s trade policies and said that this step was necessary from the perspective of national security.

India is “Maharaja of Tariff” – Peter Navarro
Peter Navarro, the trade advisor of the White House, has called India a “Maharaja of Tariff”. He said that India is the highest tariff country in the world, especially on American products. Apart from this, India’s non-tariff barriers are also very high, which makes American products entry into the Indian market difficult.

Import duty implemented up to 50% on India
After the new tariff effective from August 27, the US has imposed a total fee on Indian goods in total. This step has been described by India as “unfair, unjust and baseless”. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said that India will not compromise on the interests of its dairy and agriculture sector.

Allegations on India- Russian oil being bought from US dollar
Peter Navaro made a big allegation of America’s trade deficit. He said that America buys huge amounts of goods from India and sends dollars instead. India buys Russian oil from these dollars, and Russia uses the same dollar for war on Ukraine. In this way, Russia gets weapons from America’s money, causing damage to Ukraine.

The purpose of putting tariffs is different from China – Navaro
Navaro made it clear that the purpose of tariffs imposed on India is different from China. He said that this step has been taken by India for not stopping the purchase of Russian oil. While the tariffs imposed on China are “Risiprokel”.

National Security- Trump’s thinking
Navaro said that US President Donald Trump sees economic decisions with national security. He said, “The mathematics that does not work has to be closed. Trump understands that economic security is national security. This is the basic spirit of this decision.”

India’s strict response
India’s reaction to this move of America has been very strong. The Government of India not only described these tariffs as inappropriate, but also said that this will harm the business relations between the two countries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also clarified that India will not allow its agriculture and dairy sector to harm under any pressure.

On Monday (August 3, 2025), US President Donald Trump defended the reciperook tariff imposed on several countries including India and said that he should have done it many years ago. Trump insisted that America will pay its debt from hundreds of billion dollars coming in the country.
Talking to the media, Trump said, ‘We are going to repay the loan. We are getting a lot of money- more than the money that has come in the country so far. One of what we are going to do is to reduce debt. We should have done this many years ago. I did this during my first term with China. We could not do the rest of the work due to Kovid.

Our country will earn hundreds of billion dollars: Trump

The US President said, ‘I do not want any kind of pressure, I want fairness. We want mutual benefits wherever and as much as possible. Sometimes, it becomes too much for them. This will be a very large amount and I can only say that, our country will earn hundreds of billion dollars.

Economic policy changed after returning to White House

Trump was sworn in as the US President in January this year and made a second return to the White House. He ended America’s old Global Economic Order. Trump decided to punish the countries that were unilateral tariffs and achieved huge concessions from the country who agreed with the reciperook tariff.
When did Trump announce the tariff?

On April 2, the US President announced a 50 per cent recipe tariff on imports from countries with which America’s trade deficit was. Along with this, a baseline tariff of 10 percent was imposed on all countries. He cited a 1977 law to declare the trade deficit as a national emergency, which justified his comprehensive import taxes. After this announcement, when there was a ruckus, they postponed the reciperook tariff for 90 days to give countries a chance to negotiate. Eventually, some countries succumbed to Trump’s demands. Countries that did not do so suffered more loss than tariffs.

Which countries are the most tariffs imposed on?

Trump imposed tariffs from 10 to 50 percent on 69 countries. These included 41 percent on Syria, 35 percent on Canada, 50 percent on Brazil, 25 percent on India, 39 percent on Switzerland and 20 percent on Taiwan. The US President had imposed a 29 percent tariff on Pakistan, which then reduced to 19 percent after the oil deal.

Trump Tariff: After the BRICS 2025 conference held in Brazil, the geopolitical atmosphere has been heated. US President Donald Trump has warned the BRICS countries of adopting “anti -America policies” to impose an additional 10% tariff on 12 countries. China has reacted strongly to this. China has clearly stated that the BRICS group does not want conflict, but it is wrong to use tariffs as political pressure.

China’s US two
During the regular press briefing in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said, there is no victory in the tariff and trade war. Protectionism is not the way forward. China criticized the US using tariffs as a political weapon and said that this strategy would not be beneficial for anyone.

Trump’s warning
Trump has spoken of giving economic punishment to those countries which are standing with anti-American policies of BRICS. Aerial attacks on Iran’s military and nuclear bases by the US and Israel at the BRICS conference were called “illegal”. This move of BRICS is considered to be the hardest collective condemnation ever on Western military action. Trump said that countries supporting such proposals should be ready to suffer economic consequences.

Concern over Iran and Gaza, condemnation of terrorism
Apart from Iran’s issue, the Gaza war was also discussed in the conference. BRICS countries raised concerns over unilateral military actions and emphasized the need for peace. At the same time, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, India was also strongly condemned. BRICs demanded strict action on cross -border terrorism and terror financeing networks.

Stress grows behind Trump’s threat
Trump said that he has prepared tariff notices for 12 countries which have been signed and ready. These letters will be issued at 12 noon (EST) on Monday afternoon. This threat has come at a time when the temporary ban on the new policy of tariff in the US ends on 9 July. Earlier on April 2, Trump had announced to increase the tariff on all business partner countries, causing diplomatic disputes around the world.

India has set its limits on major issues in areas like agriculture and dairy for the proposed interim trade agreement with the US. So now Washington is in the hands of finalizing the deal.

Sources said that if the issues are resolved, the interim trade agreement can be announced before July 9. The 90-day fee for dozens of countries including India on behalf of US President Donald Trump is also ending on this day. He said that India has set its boundaries and now the ball is in America’s court.

Trying to finalize interim trade agreement

The two countries had announced to start negotiations for bilateral trade agreement (BTA) in February. He decided to complete the first phase of BTA by this year’s autumn (September-October). Before that, both sides are trying to finalize the interim trade agreement.

On April 2, the US imposed an additional 26 percent counter -counter duty on Indian goods, but postponed it for 90 days. However, 10 percent of the original fee levied by the US is still applicable. India wants a complete discount from this 26 percent fee. A source said, “If the proposed trade talks fail, then 26 percent fees will be implemented again.”

India does not trade agreement on the basis of time limit

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said last week that India does not compromise on a deadline basis and will accept the proposed trade agreement with the US only when it is in national interest. According to sources, the FTA is possible only when both sides get benefits and it should be a profitable agreement for both sides.

Only last week, the Indian party has returned from Washington after talking on the interim trade agreement with the US. There are also differences between the two countries at steel and aluminum (50 percent), vehicle (25 percent) fees.

India is also adopting a tough stand

India has tightened its stand on giving fees concessions to the US on agriculture and dairy products, because both are sensitive subjects. India has never opened the dairy sector in any trade agreement signed before.

Trump said last week that his administration is sending letters to the first group of 10-12 countries, in which the details of the counter-duty rates will be shared and the entire process can be completed by 9 July.

Taking a shocking decision, the US has announced a huge tax of up to 3,521 per cent on solar panels coming from four countries of South East Asia. This step was taken when American solar manufacturing companies had requested the government that foreign companies are harming their markets at cheap prices.

After one year long investigation by the US Department of Commerce, the result was that many Chinese companies are producing in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam and are sending products from there to America, causing major damage to American industries.

America took a big step

The most strict action has been taken against the companies that did not cooperate in the investigation. For example, some companies in Cambodia have been taxed up to 3,521 percent. At the same time, a tax of 41 percent has been levied on the products of Chinese company Jinko Solar in Malaysia and 375 percent on the products of TRINA Solar in Thailand. America says that these companies were sending products at cheap prices, ie ‘dumping’, and behind it is a big role of Chinese subsidy.

This step will definitely benefit American solar manufacturing. The decision has been welcomed by the American manufacturers ‘American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing’. He says that it will strengthen America’s domestic production capacity and prove that Chinese companies had been taking wrong advantage of the system for a long time.

The prices of solar products may increase

In 2023, the US imported solar equipment of about $ 12 billion (about 1 lakh crore) from these four countries. Therefore, this decision is not only considered to be commercial, but also strategic. However, this can result in common consumers and small traders, who were getting the benefit of cheap solar panels till now. Due to the new tariff, the prices of solar products can now increase and installations can be expensive.

The timing of this decision is also special because recently Chinese President Xi Jinping has visited Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia. The purpose of this tour was to strengthen relations with these countries and combat American pressure. In such a situation, this decision seems to be another link to the growing business tussle between the two countries.

The US has already imposed a tax of up to 145 per cent on products coming from China and now in some cases this total tax can reach 245 per cent. In response, China has also retaliated and imposed 125 percent tax on American products and warned of “fighting till the end”. It is clear that this is not just a matter of solar energy, but a new trade war can be started, which will affect the green energy sector of the whole world.

The US government may have given some electronic products exempted from tariffs i.e. import duty, but this relief is not going to last long. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lonik has clearly stated that this discount is just temporary and soon a special “semiconductor tariff” will be imposed on these products.

What did Commerce Secretary say?

Talking on the ABC channel’s show ‘This Week’ on Sunday, America’s Commerce Secretary Lonik said, “Many electronic items like smartphones, computers, solar cells, flat-panel TVs have been excluded from the tariffs right now, but all these products will be under semector tax in the next 1-2 months.” He said that America now wants to build these essential things like chips, flat panels and semiconductors in its country itself. Lonik insisted that we cannot be completely dependent on South East Asia.

It is a matter of national security

Lonik also made it clear that this is not an issue that can be resolved by negotiating with other countries. He said that these products now come under ‘National Security’. Meaning, it should now be made in America. They cannot be exempted from tariffs forever.

What is the thinking of Trump administration?

President Donald Trump and his team want factories to be made again in America, especially the goods related to medicines and technology. For this, companies are being forced to bring back the manufacturing by imposing tax on imports.

Which products are now exempted?

On Friday night, the US Customs Agency issued a notice stating that things like smartphones, computers, solar cells, TV displays, and storage devices are currently exempted from tariffs. But now it has become clear that this discount is temporary and tax may be applied again in the coming months.

Message to india

The tariff policy in the US has now directly connected to the National Security. For countries like India, it is an indication that in global trade, more ‘safe trade’ is coming more than ‘free trade’.
