Rahul Slams Trump’s Tariffs, Hints at Modi-Adani Nexus
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on former US President Donald Trump’s increased tariffs on India, terming the move “economic blackmail”. He alleged that the tariffs were an attempt to force an unfair trade deal on India.
Gandhi further suggested that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s silence on the matter was linked to an ongoing US investigation into the Adani Group and India’s dealings with Russia regarding oil imports.
The Congress leader’s statement comes at a time when India’s trade relations with the US are under scrutiny. His allegations raise serious questions about the government’s approach to international trade and its dealings with powerful global entities.
This development casts a shadow over the already complex India-US relationship, and raises concerns about potential implications for India’s economic sovereignty. The timing, coinciding with ongoing investigations, adds further intrigue to the political narrative. The opposition is likely to leverage this to further question the government’s foreign policy strategy.
