- On August 27, 2025, President Donald Trump imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian exports, raising levies to 50% on clothes, gems and jewellery, shoes, and chemicals.
- After five rounds of U.S.-India trade talks failed, officials implemented duties under Executive Order 14329 addressing threats from the Russian Federation.
- Hours after the levies took effect, Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev urged Indian consumers to boycott American brands including Apple, Coca‑Cola, Pepsi, Subway, KFC and McDonald's, calling the tariffs `political bullying, hooliganism, and dictatorship` and demanding a complete boycott.
