The government underlined three categories, under which the US is imposing tariffs.
Issues included global tariffs – measures applied to all countries, not only India, sector -specific tariffs – some industries were designed to attract in the US, such as automobiles, leather and garments and revenue -revenue -oriented tariffs – to target areas such as agriculture and oil for revenue creation.
Officials insisted that talks with the US were going on, but India will not compromise in agriculture and dairy areas.
The government is actively assessing the impact of tariffs in consultation with stakeholders, including exporters, and is searching for alternative trade participation. Dialogue on trade agreements with the European Union has accelerated, and new agreements with other countries are also under consideration.
On comprehensive relations, the government said that Indo-US relations are strong beyond trade. The recent developments include the resolution passed in the United Nations Security Council and the Ghaldam attacks on the Pahalgam attacks, the extradition of Tahwur Rana from the US and the designation of TRF as a terrorist organization. There has been no India-dialogue regarding Pakistan in the current trade discussions.
Committee chairman Shashi Tharoor confirmed that about 50 questions were raised in the meeting. He reiterated that the trade is only one dimension of the Indo-American partnership. On the comment of the nuclear threat of Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir, the government said that such statements are unacceptable, especially when a friendly country is made from the soil of the country.
Regarding the upcoming American delegation for trade talks, the government indicated that there was no change in the schedule. Whether or not the issue of nuclear threat will be raised with Washington, the authorities deferred the Foreign Secretary, but confirmed that such rhetoric was unwanted.
Commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelanski after his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the government said that if the war ends, 25 percent of the current tariffs-the cost of India’s purchase of Russian oil was found. However, India focuses on addressing the remaining 25 percent tariff effect.
