The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has debunked reports claiming India is reviewing US goods exempted from tariffs or reconsidering bilateral deals in response to US President Donald Trump’s 25% tariff. The MEA’s fact-check unit called the reports false and misleading. Trump’s tariffs, effective August 1, penalize India for BRICS ties and trade with Russia. Despite this, sources confirmed that both countries remain engaged in talks to reach a trade agreement, with the sixth round of negotiations scheduled in New Delhi on August 24. Trump accused India of having “obnoxious” trade barriers and slammed its ties with Russia. (PC: X)
