The Prime Minister of the country, Narendra Modi, gave a clear message from the Red Fort without naming the American tariff and Donald Trump that the country would never compromise on the interests of farmers. He said that the hard work of farmers is paying off in the development of India. Last year, the record in the production of food grains has been broken. The land is the same but water is found, it was also produced in India. We have reached another level in fish production. We have reached another level in the production of rice, vegetables etc.

The production of farmers of the country is reaching the world. Agro product of Rs 4 lakh crore has reached the world. We have started cooperation under PM Dhan Dhanya Kisan Yojana for the hundred districts of the country which are left behind. Modi will not tolerate any harmful thing for farmers, cattle rearers etc. and will stand in front of it as a wall. This comment is important because in the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) between India and the US, Washington is demanding a concession from India in agriculture and dairy areas. To create pressure, the US has also imposed heavy duty on India.

India stands for its farmers- Modi
Addressing the nation on the 79th Independence Day, the Prime Minister said, “Modi stands like a wall against any harmful policy related to farmers, fishermen and livestock owners of India. India will never accept any adverse agreement regarding its farmers, cattle rearers and fishermen ”. In the proposed BTA, America is demanding to increase the reach of American dairy products along with reducing fees on products like maize maize, soybean, apple, almonds and ethanol. However, New Delhi has strongly opposed these demands, as they will directly affect the farmers.

Business tension between America and India seems to be deepening once again. The decision of US President Donald Trump imposing 25% additional tariffs on India’s goods has created a stir in political and diplomatic circles. The move is being criticized all -round, and now China has also openly come out in support of India. The Chinese ambassador has targeted Trump as a “crook” and described it as a threat to the global trade system. This incident has happened at a time when speculation about Prime Minister Modi’s possible China visit is also sharp.

America’s 50% tariff on India
US President Donald Trump has announced an additional 25% tariff on India, which has now increased the total fee to 50%. This decision has been taken due to India’s continuation of oil trade with Russia. The White House said that this decision has been taken in response to India’s “frequent inaction and vengeance”. This tariff can affect India’s exports that already depend on a large market like America.

Chinese ambassador’s sharp comment: Trump said “crooks”
Chinese Ambassador to New Delhi, Shoo Faihong, on Thursday criticized US President Trump and called him a “crook”. He wrote without naming X, ‘If the crook is given an inch, he takes a mile.’ He also shared a part of the recent phone call between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the Chief Advisor of the President of Brazil. In this conversation, Wang Yi said, ‘The use of tariffs to suppress other countries is a violation of the Charter and it weakens the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO).’

India and China: Strategic rival, still in touch

Although India and China are rival to each other for strategic impact in South Asia, the two countries also communicate with each other on the global stage. According to sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi can visit China in late August. If this journey takes place, it will be Modi’s first visit to China after 2018. In October 2024, Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Russia for the last time.

Impact of tariff on India: Export falls, GDP injuries
According to Bloomberg Economics, the total tariffs imposed by the US may decline by up to 60% in India’s exports. This is likely to decline in India’s GDP by about 1%. The Reserve Bank of India has estimated a growth rate of 6.5% in FY 2026, which is much lower than the average of the previous years.

Which areas will be affected?
The new tariff can almost stop the export activity of labor-dominated areas such as gems and jewelery, textiles and shoe industries. This decision is likely to be effective within 21 days.

India expressed strong opposition
The Government of India has termed the US move as unfair and unjust. The government criticized Trump and said that it is wrong to target India in this way, while many other countries are also buying oil from Russia.

US President Donald Trump left for the US on 30 July 2025 from a 4 -day Scotland tour. Meanwhile, he spoke to reporters in Air Force One and answered questions related to tariffs. Speaking especially on questions related to India, he said that India has been a good friend, but he imposes more tariffs on America than in almost any other country. You cannot do this. When asked if it is possible to impose 20% -25% tariff on India? So Trump replied to me. However, he also said that no final decision has been taken so far.

The statement from US President Donald Trump came at a time when talks are going on between India and the US about the trade agreement before the August 1 deadline, but so far no concrete results have been achieved. The Trump administration wants to bring tariff rates to countries around the world under the “Reciprocal Tariffs” i.e. mutual tariff policy. On July 23, Trump also said that America will not keep the tariff less than 15% for any country. They allege that economies like India impose more charges on American products, while the American market is open to them. Under this policy, countries like India are considered to be the United Stating Partner of America, until they cut the tariff.

Negotiations between India and America continue
The Government of India is trying to compromise before the deadline of August 1. The Indian delegation led by Rajesh Aggarwal has completed a 5 round of talks in Washington in July. This conversation lasted for four days, but there is no success. Agriculture, automobile, digital business were important in the issue of negotiations. According to PTI, those who participated in the conversation on behalf of the US informed that the next round of talks is likely to be after August, ie after the deadline is over.

What does Indo-US trade stress mean?
The relations between India and the US are strategically strong, but there has been a long tension on the trade front.
The potential impact of Trump’s warning may have in many areas, which is as follows-

• Pressure on Indian exporters will increase (especially steel, aluminum, textile fields.
• Bilateral differences over IT services and data policy can be deeper.
• Strategic partnership such as defense and quad cooperation may be affected.
