Trade War Deepens: US President Rules Out Talks Amidst Tariff Hike
US President’s unequivocal rejection of renewed trade talks with India came during a press interaction at the Oval Office on August 7, 2025. The question, posed by ANI, specifically addressed the possibility of resuming negotiations in the wake of the recently imposed 50% tariff.
His response was firm and direct: “No, not until we get it resolved.” This statement signals a hardening of the US stance and raises concerns about escalating trade tensions.
The President’s refusal to engage in dialogue suggests a protracted trade dispute, potentially impacting crucial sectors of the Indian economy. The implications for Indian businesses and consumers, particularly in the face of the new tariffs, demand immediate attention from policymakers.
