Angry over the American tariff, Owaisi said that it is very sad that the Indian government is facing a prank sitting in the White House of America.

At the same time, Asaduddin Owaisi shared a post on the social media platform X about this. Owaisi in his post has declared the announcement of this move by Trump as a clear and deliberate attack on India’s sovereignty and economic status. He said, “I have been raising the issue of growing business enmity against India in Parliament for years.”

India is not a slave country- Owaisi

Owaisi said, “It is very sad that the government of my country is facing a prank sitting in the White House. This tariff of America will come with a unclear penalty for trade with Russia. India is an independent and sovereign country, there is no slave country in a king’s court.”

He said, “This tariff imposed by the US will cause huge damage to India’s MSMES, construction companies, IT firms, service providers and farmers. This tariff will also prevent FDI, damage exports and also affect jobs. Where he will affect the jobs. Where there is a 15 percent tariff on Japan, 20 percent on Vietnam and 19 percent on Indonesia. India’s competitive lead on exports will end. ”

Trump has announced that Indian expenses will now come with a 25% tariff.

It’s sad to see my country’s government being bullied by a buffoon-in-chiff in the white house. This tariff will come with a vague “penalty” for trading with russia. India is Independent Sovereign Country.…
