US President Donald Trump imposed 25 percent additional tariff on India, which has been implemented, but Trump is facing criticism due to this. The people of their own country are blaming them wrongly. Former US National Security Advisor Jake Sulivan has made a big claim. He has said that Trump has sidelined relations with India for his family business.

Sulwin says that it has been hard to strengthen the relations of Indo-US relations for years, but Trump has ruined it. Talking in a podcast, he said, “The US had worked to strengthen the world’s largest democracy on bilateral basis for decades. India is a country with which we should be together on the issue of economics with technology and talent. We should also be ready to deal with China’s strategic threat. ”

Trump made India a sideline for family business

Sulwin made a big charge on Trump. He said, I feel that he sidelined relations with India because of his desire to trade with the Trump family of Pakistan. This is a big strategic step in itself.

Tension between India and America

There is a tension between India and America regarding the issue of tariffs. Trump had first imposed 25 percent tariff on India, but increased it to 50 percent. Due to this, business has been affected much more. Trump has trouble buying oil from Russia in India, while China also buys oil from Russia. America also trades with Russia itself. However, India rests on its point.

US President Donald Trump once justified his tariff and said that this will increase the strength of the country and the army. The US Court of Appelies for the Federal Circuit called Tariff illegal, but Trump criticized the court comment over the matter. He warned that America will be completely ruined without tariffs.

Trump wrote on the social media platform Truth, “If there was no tariff, we would not have been able to collect trillions of dollars, if they did not do so, the country would have been completely ruined, military strength would weaken.” Trump had put 25 percent tariff on India, but then increased 25 percent. In this way, America has imposed a total tariff on India. Trump has criticized the court’s comment and justified his decision.

What did the US court say

The court termed Tariff as illegal and said that the President does not have the right to impose tariffs for such a wider and indefinite time. However, the US court has allowed the tariff to be implemented till October 14.

Trump had also justified the court earlier. They said, ,The court has wrongly stated that the tariff should be removed, but they know that the victory is to be done by America. If the tariff is removed, there will be a huge crisis in the country.,

The distance increased due to tariff between India and America

There has been a rift in the relationship between India and America. Donald Trump has a problem due to India buying oil from Russia. He also commented several times about this, but India is standing firmly. Trump imposed an additional 25 percent of an additional tariff on India for this reason.

US President Donald Trump last week announced additional punitive action on imposing 25 per cent high tariffs on India and doing business with Russia, causing a stir all over the world. He also said that I do not care what India does with Russia. They can further drop their dead economy. The reaction of Canadian Business Tycoon Kirk Lubimov has come about Trump’s statement.

Testband company chairman Kirk Lubimov, while criticizing Turmp’s strategy on Twitter, wrote, ‘Trump is now taking the fastest growing economy in the world to fight with India. This is a big geopolitical mistake. Lubimov believes that the importance of India is not only economic, but also to balance China’s influence in the supply chain. He suggested Trump that he should cooperate with Canada and India instead of controlling India with nail-hills so that global resources can be balanced.

I’ve said it before, and i’ll say it again;

The biggest problem with Donald Trump’s Tariff approach is that it has zero consider to geopolitical strategy.

Trump described India as a dead economy

Trump not only described India as a dead economy, but also severely criticized India’s high tariff policies. He alleged that India imposes the world’s highest tariff on American goods. America’s trade with India is limited due to tariffs and restrictions. India’s trade with Russia weakens the US ban policy. This stance came at a time when India has become the second largest buyer of crude oil from Russia. Earlier this part was less than 1%, which has now exceeded 35%.

India’s response- we grow fast economy

The Government of India immediately responded to this statement based on diplomatic and facts. Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said in Parliament that India is now the fastest growing major economy in the world and is soon to become the third largest economy in the world. According to Goyal, India’s contribution to Global GDP is around 16%. The flexible economic policies and structural reforms of the country have made India a global growth engine.

The trade deal between the US and India has not been finalized yet, but before that President Donald Trump has definitely threatened the tariff. The White House said on Thursday (August 31) that 25 percent tariffs will be imposed on India. America is trying to pressurize India to sign a trade deal. He wants to compromise on agriculture and dairy sector with India, but India is not ready for this.

According to sources, America’s pressure on India is not going to make a difference. If India signs the deal with the US about agriculture and dairy sector, then it will have to open its market for the Trump government and if this happens then Indian farmers may have to suffer losses. India recently signed a free trade agreement deal with Britain. This is in a strong position.

India will not compromise in which sector

If sources are to be believed, no compromise will be made on the Government of India Agriculture, Dairy and GM crops non -vegetarian milk and beef etc. India will protect the interests of its agricultural sector and MSME sector at all costs. The government says that there will be no adverse effect on the interests of Indian farmers. Milk for India is an issue related to religious sentiment. It is used for worship.

Why India is not signing the deal with America for agriculture and dairy sector

Actually, the US wants India to reduce tariffs on agricultural products like maize, wheat and soybean, but India is not ready for it. The US gives huge subsidy on its agricultural products, causing damage to Indian farmers. A major demand in America is also about the dairy sector. He wants his product to come to India, but India is not ready for it either.

What will be the effect of low tariff on Bangladesh-Pakistan

Sources say that less tariffs on Pakistan and Bangladesh will not have an impact on us. By the end of August, the US delegation is coming for talks. US President Donald Trump had announced to install this tariff from 1 August. But later this date was changed and now it has been said to be implemented from August 7.

After the announcement of imposing 25 percent tariff on India, US President Donald Trump has made another big explosion. Taking a dig at India and Russia, he has said that they do not care about India’s transaction with Russia and the two together can drop their dead economies down.

US President Donald Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, “I don’t care what India does with Russia. We have done very little business with India. His tariffs are very much, which is one of the highest tariffs in the world. Similarly, Russia and America also do not do almost any business. Let it be like this.”

I don’t care what India does with russia. They can take their dead economies down togetra, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their tariffs are too high, Among the highest in the world. Likeweise, Russia and the usa do almost no business togeether.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev targeted
The US President also targeted former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev. Medvedev warned that Washington DC’s ultimatum game with Russia could lead to war. The US President said, “Russia’s unsuccessful former President Medvedev, who still considers himself President, asks him to pay attention to his words. He is entering a very dangerous field.”

India-Russia Defense Relations
India has been buying defense equipment, oil and energy resources from Russia for years. In the recent years, India has continued to import the S-400 air defense system, crude oil, and other strategic resources from Russia, which the US looks at doubt. However, India has so far kept relations with America strong, but at the same time there are decades old strategic relationships with Russia. India’s foreign policy is the basis, autonomous and multilateral approach. Meanwhile, a trade talk is also going on between India and America. On this, the Government of India said that India and America have been talking on a fair, balanced and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement for the last few months.
