‘PM compromised, can’t renegotiate': Rahul Gandhi doubles down on India-US trade deal amid fresh tariff row

Rahul Gandhi has intensified his critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding the India-US trade deal, asserting that Modi's administration has compromised India’s negotiating position. His comments were made in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's statement that 'nothing changes' regarding tariffs, suggesting that India will maintain its current tariff levels. Gandhi's remarks highlight concerns over India's trade policies and the implications of the ongoing tariff dispute with the U.S. The backdrop of this exchange involves increasing tensions over trade, with both nations having previously attempted to renegotiate terms in order to foster a more balanced economic relationship. Gandhi's insistence on Modi's failure to adequately represent Indian interests in these negotiations underscores the political stakes involved as India seeks to navigate its trade relationships amidst global economic pressures. With the elections approaching, this issue may resonate significantly with voters concerned about the government's economic strategies and international relations.
