US Congressman Ro Khanna has strongly criticised President Donald Trump’s decision to impose 50% tariffs on Indian imports. He said the duties are harsher than those on China and threaten three decades of bipartisan work to strengthen US-India ties. In a post on X, Khanna claimed Trump acted out of anger because Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, stating, “Trump is destroying 30 years of bipartisan work to build the US-India strategic partnership because Modi refuses to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize." He warned the tariffs could hurt Indian exports and push India closer to China and Russia. Khanna urged Indian-Americans who supported Trump to speak out against his policies and defend the partnership. (PC: AP)
