India Navigates U.S. Tariff Challenges
India is exploring ways to ease tensions with the U.S., including boosting imports of American goods. However, it has decided against purchasing F-35 fighter jets. Following President Trump's surprise announcement of a 25% tariff on Indian goods, officials in New Delhi expressed shock but are keen to maintain trade discussions. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal assured that the government is assessing the situation and will take necessary actions to protect national interests. While retaliation isn't immediate, India may consider options at the WTO later.
