US Tariffs on Indian Goods: A Blow to Bilateral Ties?
Michael Kugelman, Director of the South Asia Institute at the Wilson Center, expressed no surprise at the US President’s decision to impose additional tariffs on Indian goods. He cited the recent trajectory of US-India relations as a key factor.
Kugelman highlighted the President’s unwavering commitment to implementing these tariffs, despite potential damage to the bilateral relationship.
The decision, announced on August 6, 2025, underscores the growing strain in US-India trade relations. This development raises serious concerns about the future of economic cooperation between the two nations. The impact on Indian exports and the broader economic landscape warrants close monitoring. The potential for retaliatory measures from India also adds another layer of complexity to this escalating trade dispute.
