      Editorial: Trump’s tariff tantrums

      United States President’s tariff war has virtually undone efforts put in by India-US to deepen their economic and strategic cooperation India should stand firm in the face of the bullying tactics of United States President Donald Trump, whose disparaging words and undiplomatic actions on the issue of reciprocal tariffs are simply unacceptable.

By mocking the Indian economy and imposing a 25 per cent reciprocal tariff on Indian goods, along with an unspecified penalty for continuing business ties with Russia, he has virtually undone the meticulous efforts put in by the two countries to deepen their economic and strategic cooperation. An unhinged Trump appears bent…
