Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has urged the Indian government to retaliate against US tariffs if no changes are seen within three weeks. Highlighting a “hidden message” in the Biden administration’s approach, Tharoor noted that China—despite buying more oil from Russia—was granted 90 days’ relief, while India only got three weeks. He questioned the “reciprocal” nature of Trump’s 25–50% tariffs, calling them unfair and economically damaging. Tharoor warned of major trade losses for India’s $90 billion US market and urged calm but firm action. He also called on Indian-origin Americans and leaders like Nikki Haley to push for fair treatment. (PC: HT)
