'India Is The Maharaja Of Tariffs' | Trump’s trade advisor Peter Navarro accuses India of funding Russia’s war

White House Trade Adviser Peter Navarro has criticised India's trade practices, calling the country the “maharaja of tariffs” while defending the US administration’s decision to impose steep import duties on Indian goods. India has responded strongly to the US tariff move, calling the measures “unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi, too, on Thursday said that India will not compromise on the interests of its dairy and farm sector. The additional 25% import duty announced by the US, effective August 27, takes the total tariff on Indian goods entering American markets to 50%.
