In fact, US President Donald Trump, while softening on the last occasion, postponed the proposed tariff on 69 countries including India for seven days. The tariffs, which come into effect from first 1 August 2025, will now be effective from August 7. That is, India has got 7 days’ deferment. Some people are looking at this decision as a relief, while some are considering it as part of the strategy of Trump’s pressure politics. Now the question arises whether Trump wants to get India’s own trade deal with the tariff?
Regardless of the answer, but it is a reality that Donald Trump is desperate. He is desperate. Seeing the Yari of India and Russia, there are Frustrators. In a way, if you say, they have been irritated with India. America itself is accepting the same. That is why Rubio said that despite all the efforts of US President Donald Trump, India did not stop buying oil from its friend Russia, which is why Donald Trump is irritated with India.
However, the US has imposed a 25 percent tariff on India. This is more than Pakistan (19 percent) and Bangladesh (20 percent). Trump today signed the tariff executive order and announced a tariff on all countries. Also released a full list of tariffs, which is on exports from countries around the world. The last date to implement the tariff was August 1 but the new fees will come under impact from August 7. Now the question is, why did Trump take such a decision?
Experts believe that America is desperate about the trade deal with India itself. He is dealing with India on his terms. Not only India, but also with other countries, his intention is similar. But India has made it clear that its nation is first for him. He considers the interest of his country as paramount. So Donald Trump first imposed a tariff of 25 percent. After that when he was asked if this was the final tariff, his reply to this was not the final. The door of the conversation is open. Even after this, India did not give as much price as Donald Trump would be expecting.
This is the reason that once again just before 1 August, America gave 70 days relief to 70 countries around the world including India. This means the tariff will not apply from 1 August. Until August 7, the deferment means that the US has opened the door of the conversation for the trade deal. In this 7 days, America will try to take forward the conversation on the trade deal. However, the tariff that the US has announced has applied the most tariffs on Syria (41 percent). And the least is on the European Union.
