India Proposes First Counter Move Against Trump’s Tariff Regime
- India notified the WTO on May 9, 2025, that it proposes tariffs on select US products to retaliate against American metal tariffs.

- India has communicated to the WTO its intention to potentially modify the list of products and tariff rates, committing to notify relevant WTO bodies and observe a 30-day waiting period before implementing such changes.
- This retaliation marks India's strongest trade response in years amid ongoing US-India trade talks aiming to secure a broader trade deal.
