Congress leader Rahul Gandhi strongly criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50% tariff on Indian goods, calling it an act of “economic blackmail” intended to punish India for buying Russian oil. Gandhi accused the U.S. of attempting to “bully India into submission” and urged Prime Minister Modi to stand firm in national interest. He also hinted that Modi’s silence may be linked to U.S. probes into the Adani Group. Other Congress leaders warned that the tariff hike would damage India’s export economy and demanded a foreign policy reset. (PC: PTI)
