What Are Trump Tariffs?
Trump tariffs refer to trade duties imposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump on imports, aimed at protecting American industries and reducing trade deficits.
Why India Was Targeted
India lost its Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) status in 2019 under Trump’s administration, leading to increased tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S.
Impact on Indian Exports
Sectors like textiles, auto parts, jewelry, and pharmaceuticals were hit by higher tariffs, making Indian goods less competitive in the U.S. market.
India’s Retaliation
In response, India imposed tariffs on 28 U.S. products, including almonds, apples, and walnuts, escalating the trade conflict between the two nations.
Effect on Bilateral Trade
U.S.-India trade relations became strained, with both nations engaging in tariff battles that disrupted traditional trade patterns and negotiations.
Talks and Attempts at Resolution
Despite tensions, high-level meetings took place aiming to resolve trade differences, including potential trade deals that never fully materialized.
Winners and Losers in India
Indian exporters, especially small businesses, were among the biggest losers, while some local industries benefited from reduced U.S. competition.
Current Trade Status Post-Trump
Since the Trump era, some tariffs have been relaxed, but many trade barriers remain. The Biden administration has maintained a cautious approach.
What Lies Ahead for India-U.S. Trade?
With changing global dynamics and upcoming U.S. elections, future tariffs and trade deals will depend on strategic diplomacy and mutual economic interests.
