‘PM Modi cannot do, Kneel should not bend for Donald Trump’: American tariff on India is a rare bipartisan concern in America – clock
New Delhi: US President Donald Trump’s Tariff War against India has attracted rare bilateral concern in the US with American leaders in the US that warns political spectrums against the move.Former US Deputy Secretary State Kurt Campbell warned that Indo-American relations were at risk as he said that “Prime Minister Modi cannot bow down to President Trump and not.,Campbell said in an interview to CNBC International, “America has the most important relationship with India in the 21st century. Most of its part is now at risk. The way President Trump has spoken about India and PM Modi.”
Former US vice -president Mike Pence joined criticism as he said Tariff eventually burdened American companies and consumers, as he confirmed his support for a warning of free trade and their economic decline.“American companies and American consumers paid the cost of American tariffs. Free trade with free nations,” they said in a post on X. Pence, citing an article, said that Ford paid $ 800 million in tariffs in just three months despite the construction of most of its vehicles in the US, a comment seen as a direct swipe in Trump’s economic policies.Donald Trump has taken a tough stance against New Delhi’s Russian oil purchase, which is imposing an additional 25% tariff. India has defended its Russian oil purchase, calling it the necessary steps by “global market conditions”.India mentions that in 2024, the European Union trade with Russia is more than € 67.5 billion in goods and € 17.2 billion in 2023, more than India’s own trade versions with Moscow. European LNG imports recorded 16.5 million tonnes in 2024 in 2024, crossing the previous peak in 2022. New Delhi also stated that uranium hexaphloride for nuclear plants in the US, paladium for EV production, as well as major Russian products including fertilizers and chemicals continue to import.
