Tharoor Warns: Trump’s Tariffs – A Bluff India Shouldn’t Call?
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has cautioned against underestimating the potential impact of Donald Trump’s recent tariff announcements. He views the move as a strategic bargaining tactic by the former US President.
Tharoor stressed the importance of India maintaining a firm stance in negotiations. The US remains a significant export market for India, making the situation economically sensitive.
The MP expressed concerns about potential damage to Indian exports and the nation’s GDP growth. He highlighted the vulnerability of the agricultural sector and the need for robust countermeasures.
India must resolutely defend its interests and resist unreasonable demands from the US, Tharoor emphasized. The stakes are high, impacting millions of farmers and impacting overall economic stability. The government’s response will be crucial in mitigating potential economic fallout and safeguarding India’s economic future.
