The US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a 25 % tariff on India, which was going to be effective from August 1. But now it has been postponed for a week. In the new directive issued by the US, now this tariff will be imposed on Bangladesh, Brazil and other countries including India, which will be effective from 7 August 2025.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump suddenly created a stir in the world by announcing tariffs on many countries including India. Announcing 25 percent tariff on India, Trump had said that this tariff is being imposed to remove trade obstacles. Apart from this, the fine was also announced, which is due to purchasing oil and defense products from Russia.
However, now the US has postponed the tariffs on all countries under the new order for 1 week, that is, the new deadline of tariffs has been on August 7.
Every possible step in the interest of the country!
On which India said in direct words without any retaliation that all possible action will be taken in the interest of the country. At the same time, a government official had said that India will respond to America’s tariff on the negotiation table. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister Piyush Goyal also said that it was about 10 to 15 percent tariffs. He had said that every possible action will be taken in the national interest regarding the tariff.
What does America want?
America is imposing tariffs to increase excess pressure on India. He wants India to deal with its agriculture and dairy sectors soon, but India is not ready to agree on it. India says that under any circumstances it cannot open its agriculture and dairy sectors to America.
The US is opening markets from India to open markets for its agriculture and dairy products, especially (non-veg milk) and genetically modified (GM) crops, demanding reduced tariffs on them, due to which business deal is not being done yet. America wants exemption from 100 percent tariff in this.
Why does India not want to agree with US?
Milk in India is considered to be religious and culturally sacred and it is not acceptable for India to allow milk (non -veg milk) from cattle who eat non -veg. India wants a balanced deal between the two countries, which should protect the interests of 140 crore people, especially 70 crore farmers. Food wants to keep the farmers’ interests, and strategic autonomy on prominence. At the same time, the US is expecting better access to the market.
