President Trump threatened on July 9 to add an extra 10% tariff on India as a BRICS member, labelled “anti‑American” just as New Delhi nears finalizing a trade deal aimed at reprieve from 26% reciprocal U.S. tariffs. The warning complicates negotiations: India has maintained silence publicly, emphasizing its commitment to the U.S. dollar and red‑lines on dairy, autos, GM crops . New Delhi officials say the first phase of the deal is done, but Washington holds the decision. With both sides pushing toward a deadline of July 31 for India and August 1 for U.S. tariff notices uncertainty looms over whether India will gain tariff relief without collateral impact from its BRICS ties.
