Trump's imposition of tariffs on India disrupts trade negotiations and casts a shadow over US-India relations.

President Trump announced an additional 25% tariff on imported goods from India, this sudden decision without warning not only disrupted the ongoing trade negotiations but also caused a sharp market turmoil. Many Indian officials only learned of this when asked for comments by journalists. Analysts pointed out that although Trump left room for an agreement before August 1, his accompanying statements accusing India of participating in the BRICS mechanism and purchasing Russian oil have cast a shadow over the deepening of US-India relations. "Our trade with India is pitiful," Trump said in a tweet, "the country's trade barriers are among the highest in the world."
