Congress leader Manish Tewari criticized the BJP-led government for its trade policy. He said it is “unfortunate” that India is cutting tariffs under pressure from the United States. Tewari, who is an MP from Chandigarh, believes this is not a good way to handle trade or foreign relations.
He pointed out that President Donald Trump has often accused India of having high tariffs, which make it hard for American businesses to sell products here. Trump mentioned this in a recent speech, saying India has agreed to lower its tariffs because someone is finally calling them out on it.
Tewari thinks it would be better for India to implement fair trade agreements rather than give in to America’s demands. He confirmed that the Congress party will bring this issue up in Parliament soon.
As the US gets ready to introduce new tariffs on countries with high tariffs on American goods, Trump insists that the US won’t allow itself to be taken advantage of anymore, especially by nations like India.
