US Edition"President Trump Has Been Very Clear": US Amid Tariff Row With India
INDIA, AUG 8 – The United States doubled tariffs to 50% on Indian goods, including penalties for Russian oil purchases, prompting major US retailers to pause orders, risking a $4-5 billion export loss, sources said.
- On August 8, 2025, US President Donald Trump ruled out negotiations with India on tariffs rising to 50% this month, citing unresolved disputes.
- Last week, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on India effective August 7, with another 25% scheduled for August 27, after talks collapsed.
- The US State Department said dialogue with India 'will continue' and emphasised that 'India is a strategic partner,' Thursday stated.
- India’s Ministry of External Affairs condemned the measures as 'unjustified and unreasonable', and Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised protecting farmers, fishermen, and dairy sectors despite economic pressure.
- Experts note this escalation reflects broader battles over economic sovereignty, with the administration retaining flexibility to adjust tariffs amid geopolitical shifts.
