Trump's imposition of additional tariffs is "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable", the Ministry of External Affairs said.

Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced an additional 25% tariffs on India on Wednesday, the Indian Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement, noting that the country will "take all all actions necessary to protect its national interests."

The additional import levies have been slapped by Trump to "penalise" India for its continued purchase of Russian crude oil.

The MEA, in its statement, said India's imports are based on market factors and done with the "overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India".

President Trump, kindly do the needful and revert back to giving American jobs to Americans over Indians by shutting down the H-1B scam.

Talk to the hand.

First they off-shored our jobs to India and then they started importing the Indians to our communities to continue the replacement of American engineers and programmers.

I believe that's the first thing you've posted on FR that I've agreed with.
