Take, finally America burst its tariff bomb on India. But now the world’s eyes are on what India retaliates. It is noteworthy that on Buddha on Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced a 25% counter -tariff on Indian things. However, clever Trump, describing India as ‘friend’, has written in his post on his social media site ‘Social Truth’ that this tariff will be applicable from August 1.
At the same time, it is not yet clear whether this tariff of Trump will be in addition to the already applied 10% fee or will be contained in it. In addition, the US fine for India’s Russian friendship will be. Let us know that Trump had earlier imposed 10% tariff on many countries including India on April 2, which was postponed for 90 days and then later till 1 August.
At the same time, this time Trump also announced that India is buying weapons and oil from Russia, so he will also impose a fine on it. However, how much this fine would be, they have not cleared it yet. Let us know that Trump has announced the tariff when the US party is going to come to India on August 25 to negotiate a business agreement. Therefore, knowledgeable is seeing this announcement of Trump as a strategy to pressurize India. But India will kneel in front of the tariff of America, this Yaksha question remains.

According to Trump, India and America are friends, but very little is being traded with him, because he has put very high tariffs. India’s non-economic business obstacles are the most rigorous in the world. Not only this, when the whole world was asking Russia to stop the massacre in Ukraine, India still bought a large amount of weapons and oil from him. Apart from this, he is the biggest buyer with China. However, the Truff forgot that India has been repeatedly telling Russia that it is the time of Buddha, not war.
Therefore, this American tariff imposed on India has special meaning, which needs to be understood. You should know that America is the most exported from India. As of June last June, USA was exported to $ 829,8 million. Whereas in the year 2025, about 91 new tariff rates will have a major impact on this export. This will make India’s automobiles, textiles, leather, james and jewelery, electronics, agro pharma sectors expensive in the US.
However, 35%on Bangladesh, 36%on Thailand, 36%on Cambodia, rival countries will fall less than more tariffs. At the same time, as far as the impact in the stock market is concerned, the shares of companies related to the challenged sectors can be affected. However, there was already a possibility of this counter -tariff. Therefore it can be stable after some ups and downs, as the Indian economy is in a strong position.
Therefore, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, Government of India, has said that, “The government has made a statement on bilateral trade.
At the same time, experts believe that even after the announcement of Trump, the tariff is a chance to decrease, because by 2030, there is talks between the two countries to take bilateral trade to $ 500 billion. However, in the midst of this conversation, US President Donald Trump has announced the implementation of 25% recipes on India, it will have a huge impact on exports. Therefore, industry organizations have expressed this concern.
It is noteworthy that a team of American officials is going to come to India on 25 August for the sixth round of talks on the trade agreement. While a Commerce Ministry official said, ‘Some things including penalty are not clear in what Trump has said. Therefore, talks on bilateral agreement will continue. Meanwhile, an attempt is also being made for a mini trade deal. On this deal, tariffs will be imposed according to its conditions. There is a possibility of this.
At the same time, Dr. Ajay Sahay, Director General of FIEO, an organization of exporters, has said that, “Trump’s move has increased uncertainty.” How much penalty will be installed, Indian exporters and American importers will neither be able to guess the landed cost, nor will you be able to assess how the tariff burden will be dealt with. This uncertainty will affect the strategy of supply chain planning and pricing. ”
At the same time, FICCI President Harshvardhan Aggarwal has expressed disappointment over Trump’s statement, saying, “This unfortunate step will be clearly affected by our exports. It is expected that the period of more tariffs will remain short and a permanent trade agreement between the two sides will be done soon. “At the same time, PHDCCI President Hemant Jain has said that,” The time has come for the Indian industry to stand with quality and competition. With similar tariffs on China and Vietnam, India will benefit from long -term trusts, diversity -filled market share and strong positioning as a reliable global partner.
The question is, what kind of effect will be seen by American tariff? So the answer will be that the matter of gems and jewelery, electrical machinery, textiles and pharmaceutical industries is more important. Because their share of total exports to the US is more than 40%. In 2024, textiles were sent from India to India including electrical and mechanical machinery of $ 21.5 billion, drugs of $ 12.7 billion, gemstone-jewelery worth more than $ 12 billion and 8 billion dollars readymade garments.
However, India is not alone on which the new recipe is a counter -tariff, but the US has imposed a counter tariff on about 90 countries. It has a tariff of 35% on Bangladesh, 36% on Thailand, 36% on Cambodia and 32% on Indonesia. Therefore, it is a patience for India that other main business rival countries like it have more tariffs, seeing this, India will be comparatively low in some cases. This will also help some strategic things to be clear now.
This is because in global worldliness, it is a common concept that there is no such thing that America has not cheated. In addition, friendship with the US is described as priority. That is why America, which has sometimes called India as its strong Indian Ocean ally against China, has now lost his hand behind India. US President Donald Trump, who once described India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his friend, now wants to investigate every corner of enmity, so that India can be overshadowed by the global economic and military races.
Surprisingly, for this, the US accepted all the conditions of traitors Pakistan and ambitious China for this, so that India can be controlled by the US-European desires by supporting Russia. International diplomatists say that Russia’s evergreen ally China is no longer as a threat to the US as Global South’s advocates are from India’s current and future plans.
It is believed that the US, which was sometimes supported by the Chinese Chinese arbitrary, started helping India, then started helping Pakistan, and then helping Bangladesh to control the arbitrariness of Pakistan, upset with India’s arbitrariness, and started helping Bangladesh, its Indian subcontinent has strategic matters. In the same way, Arab countries have strategic objectives to help Israel, there are strategic benefits of helping Ukraine against Russia, strategists to support Taiwan against China.
Since all this work is done according to the plans of its weapon lobby, it never lacks funds for these miscreants. Whereas the countries affected by these haremors policies are wasted in mutual transplant fights. This causes those US dollar help and comfortable victims of arms supply racket. India considers it very well. Therefore, along with the steps of new friendship with America, which was anti-India, India took every decision to blow up, so that its policy of non-alignment is not affected.
Since India did not give up friendship with Russia, took control with China, to increase business distance between America and Europe, instead of America, France, Germany, England, Italy and European Union paid attention to the countries of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan etc. Which went to America-China exasperated.
Not only this, as India raised the issues of global South in meetings of G-7 and BRICS countries, the ears of developed countries raised ears. India led the world in the field of solar energy. Due to this, India started settling all over the world. During this time, India made unhappy economic and military progress. Digital began to become the new king of the countries of the world, which is why America began to irritate India.
Not only this, where the US-China strategy was released by the US-China anti-India strategy due to the badly beaten of Pakistan in the Operation Sindoor started by Pakistan encouraged by the US and then in the operation vermilion launched by India, while India’s immunological military preparations and infallible fire attacks increased its international credibility. During this period, the pole strip of America adopted during this period also opened to India. Due to which the renovation being developed between the two countries was deeply shocked.
This is the reason why the US has imposed a new tariff on India, so that the unhappy Indian development can be blocked. If this happens, Russia-China will also be shocked, because both countries are benefiting from India. In Russian influence, India is also a soft trend towards China.
