Washington, US – US President Donald Trump has imposed a 27 percent tariff on goods and services exported from India to the US. Indian-origin Democratic Party Congressman Raja Krishnamurthy has condemned this.Raja Krishnamurthy said that the India-US partnership is essential to counter China’s military and economic aggression. In such a situation, this agreement could put unnecessary strain on US-India relations.

Donald Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day' blanket tariffs are a reckless and self-destructive tax on working families so that he can cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans. My full statement: pic.twitter.com/jZ1PupGUYr

Krishnamurthy further added,

Trump’s tariffs on India are not only misleading, but also detrimental to America’s economic, diplomatic, and security interests.

Trump’s Tariffs on India ‘misguided’ and will place ‘unnecessary strain’, says Indian-origin US Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

The friendship between the US and India is strong; but the new taxes will increase the costs of American families. This will put an additional burden on American and Indian businesses. Therefore, Trump should withdraw the taxes imposed on India.
