Donald Trump has launched yet another attack on India’s trade policies, calling the relationship one-sided and criticising high tariffs—especially on Harley Davidson motorcycles. The 50% tariffs on Indian exports remain in place, with no rollback in sight. Meanwhile, New Delhi is firm on protecting sensitive sectors like agriculture and dairy, a key reason talks have stalled. As negotiations continue, India is also deepening ties with other partners, including Russia. While Trump issues warnings, India keeps its options open—underscoring that it won’t yield to pressure, and that the path to a trade deal lies with Washington, not New Delhi.
