Trump Criticizes US-India Trade Relationship as ’One-Sided Disaster’

President Donald TRUMP escalated his trade rhetoric against India, labeling the bilateral trade relationship as a "totally one-sided disaster." In a series of statements, Trump accused India of imposing disproportionately high tariffs on US goods while benefiting from massive exports to the American market. The critique extended to India's reliance on Russian oil and military equipment, further straining diplomatic and economic ties.

The Trump administration remains engaged in trade negotiations despite a federal appeals court ruling that declared most of his global tariffs illegal. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer emphasized ongoing discussions with trading partners, signaling defiance against judicial pushback. The court allowed tariffs to remain in effect pending further litigation, preserving a key element of Trump's trade policy arsenal.
