A group of 19 US Congress members has urged President Donald Trump to immediately repair strained relations with India and reverse recent tariff hikes. Led by Congresswoman Deborah Ross and Congressman Ro Khanna, the lawmakers said tariffs on Indian goods, raised to 50 per cent, are harming both Indian manufacturers and American consumers. They warned that punitive duties could push India closer to China and Russia, threatening strategic and economic ties. Highlighting India’s role as a key trade and Indo-Pacific partner, the lawmakers called on Trump to reaffirm US commitment, stressing the importance of shared democratic values. (PC: India Today)
