Donald Trump has imposed a hefty 50% tariff on Indian goods, a move prompted by India's continued purchase of Russian oil. This action endangers over half of India's exports to its biggest market.
According to New Delhi, the tariffs that come into effect today (Wednesday, August 27) will impact £35.8billion ($48.2bn) worth of exports.
Initially, the US President announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods. However, earlier this month, he signed an executive order for an additional 25% tariff in response to India's purchases of Russian oil. This brings the total tariffs levied by the United States on its ally to 50%.
Indian officials have cautioned that the new duties could render shipments to the US commercially unviable, leading to job losses and a slowdown in economic growth.

What the heck are they referring to? India is not our ally.

India is our enemy.

They COULD have been a nice ally to have.
Oh they told us the tariffs couldn’t affect India. But we are their largest trade target accounting for half their exports. Let’s see.
As for being an “ally” unfortunately India has a long standing relationship with the USSR / Russia.
Meanwhile, Europe has been violating the sanctions on Russian energy all along...
Deporting the H1B invaders back to the dirty streets of Calcutta would be a nice next step.
India hoes mad.
We need to put a tariff on India’s IT services sector, as they have far too deep tentacles into our defense contractors security systems. I know this as I work in a company that has been Space Force contracts for a few aspects of the Golden Dome and many of our IT services are outsourced to India. What are these people thinking?
Sure, they would love to do both but it is plain to see which choice they prefer if they can only have one. Maybe we should put a comparable tariff on their H1B visas.
Trump warned India’s Deep State.
And Russia.
And Europe.
And Ukraine.
On all their heads be it.
Have fun waging your war now that you have to pay for it yourselves.
We should keep them in our “friend zone”, not police world energy trade.
END. H-1b.VISAS.NOW.
Deport the H1B Indians and give their jobs back to Americans. And deport the CEO of Microsoft back to India, too.
“India is our enemy.”
Fair enough.
However our biggest enemy is ourselves, or politically stated the ‘uniparty’ that got us here in the first place. Much of the global world when it comes to a trading imbalance is our own fault. The amount of political corruption over the years is unfathomable and it only took one person, President Trump to make a difference.
And this is only one topic.
Owen is a globalist blow hard.
