New Delhi: Congress on Tuesday took a mockery to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the proposal reciprocal tariffs And he said that he should remind his “good friend that T in WTO represents trade, no Trump.”
The Secretary General of Congress, the communications in charge, Jairam Ramesh, criticized the proposed reciprocal tariffs, saying that such measures contradicted the fundamental principles of international trade.
Jairam Ramesh declared: “Reciprocal tariffs are a complete denial of all the accepted principles of international trade. Mr. Modi should summon the courage to remind his good friend that the T in the WTO represents trade, not trade.”
This follows the announcement of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to match import tax rates with other nations, which could lead to economic tensions with several countries.
Trump indicated that the next reciprocal rates point to nations, including India and China, reiterating his position of Washington’s previous visit of Prime Minister Modi.
On the social media platform X, the head of media of Congress, Pawan Khera, raised several consultations regarding the tariff situation of the United States.
He questioned the government’s strategy to protect national agricultural workers, which constitute 45.76% of the workforce, the increase in American imports.
“Will the government now consider changes in internal policy, particularly the legalization of MSP, to provide basic income support to Indian farmers? What guarantees the Indian government will ensure to prevent India from becoming a landfill of agricultural imports cheap of the United States? ” Khera said.
He also questioned government plans to protect Mipysme sectors from expensive exports and international competition.
The Congress representative concluded by questioning the implications of the GDP of these reciprocal rates.
