What does Trump tariff do to India?

U.S. president Donald Trump is an excessive person. He has the reputation of taking the most volatile of decisions in the most unexpected times, which often became global geopolitics of the top order.

The discussion now is about the 25% tariff that Trump has enforced on India and the kind of effects that it could have on the Indian economy.

Many important Indian industries will suffer. These include clothes, jewelry, medicines, auto parts, machines, and fuel products. Small businesses and workers in these sectors might face order cancellations and job losses.

Trump says he added these taxes because India buys oil and weapons from Russia and keeps high taxes on U.S. goods. He called India a “tariff king” and wants India to reduce its own import duties and open more markets for U.S. products like dairy and agriculture.

India’s steel and aluminum exports are also hit with higher duties. Some experts say this could reduce India’s GDP growth and hurt the overall economy. Talks are ongoing between the two countries, but for now, Indian exports to the U.S. have become much more expensive and difficult.
