Kharge highlighted the US administration’s imposition of a 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports, emphasising that such measures have “serious repercussions for India’s manufacturing.”
“A 25% tariff on aluminium and steel imports with ‘no exemptions, no exceptions’ for any country, has serious repercussions for India’s manufacturing. We must build closer trade ties for both countries with mutually beneficial framework, given that the US is one of our biggest trading partners,” Kharge wrote on X.
On Monday, President Trump substantially increased the import tariff on steel and aluminium by 25% “without exceptions or exemptions.” “President Trump is taking action to end unfair trade practices and the global dumping of steel and aluminium,” the White House said in a press note.
