Trump 2.0: 26% Tariff, AI To Deport Students, Alarms Ringing?

The new president of United States, Donald Trump is creating a very adverse atmosphere for the Indian residence in the country. After having imposed restrictions and 26% tariff on international trade in India. The Trump administration is now reportedly using artificial intelligence to deport international students.

Notably, U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced a 26% tariff on Indian imports as part of his broader trade policies, which also include a 10% tariff on all imports starting April 5. He claims this move is necessary to counter what he calls unfair trade practices by India, including high tariffs on American goods and alleged currency manipulation. The decision has already caused economic ripples, with the Indian rupee weakening in global markets.

At the same time, Trump’s administration is reportedly planning to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help deport illegal immigrants, including many from India.

AI-driven systems, such as surveillance cameras and facial recognition, are expected to speed up deportation processes, potentially bypassing traditional legal checks. This has raised concerns among experts about privacy, accuracy, and the possibility of wrongful deportations.

India’s government has yet to officially respond, but economists warn that these tariffs could impact trade relations between the two countries. Meanwhile, civil rights groups in the U.S. are pushing back against AI-driven deportation, arguing that it could lead to human rights violations. As tensions rise, both economic and immigration policies under Trump’s leadership are drawing global attention.
