#TrumpTariffs India strikes back: Tariff war between Delhi and Trump's USA ⚔️📉
India has officially responded to the steel and aluminum tariffs of the Trump era — filing a detailed complaint with the WTO and announcing new tariffs on goods from the USA worth 7.6 billion dollars. This is India's first direct trade response during Trump's second term.
> “We gave diplomacy a chance — now we are leveling the playing field,” said Indian officials.
Trump's tariffs added 25% duties on steel and similar on aluminum in March, claiming it was for national security. India calls this a deception, stating that it is merely a hidden protective measure that is not allowed under WTO rules without consequences.
