US President Donald Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on India. This decision of Trump is being opposed in his own country. Former US National Security Advisor (NSA) Jack Sulivan has said that President Donald Trump has put more business pressure on India by applying 50 percent tariff. Sulivan believes that due to Trump’s policies, India is gradually leaning towards China.

Jack Sulivan said in a podcast, ‘When he talks to leaders of other countries, he says that America is no longer worth trusting. Many countries consider America to be the biggest problem, while China is coming forward like a responsible and reliable country. He said that earlier America’s image was strong, but now China’s popularity is growing rapidly and America’s credibility is becoming weak.

India is looking towards China in compulsion: Sulivan

Giving the example of India, Sulivan said, “The attempt to form a deep and permanent relationship with India was going on with the consent of both parties, but Trump made such a big business attack on India that now Indian leaders have to say that maybe we have to go to Beijing and sit with China, so that a balance can be made against America.”

50% tariff shocks Indian exports

The Trump administration has implemented a 50% tariff on India from 27 August. This is the highest tariff imposed on any country. It is believed that this will have a profound impact on India’s economy and employment. Trump said the reason for the additional 25% fee was said by India to buy oil from Russia. This heavy tax is expected to affect India’s clothes, jewelery and mechanical equipment industry the most.

Trump’s ‘resentment’ reason?

Meanwhile, a report by American investment bank Jefferies claimed that Trump’s personal resentment is the real reason for imposing tariffs on India. In fact, in May, Trump wanted to mediate the India Pakistan dispute, but India refused. Apart from this, the agricultural sector has also been described as a big issue of conflict between the two countries.
