International News: America imposed an additional 25 percent tariff on India, taking the total tax to 50 percent. This move has created a stir in the business world. Indian industrialists are looking at it with concern, but the government is not ready to compromise on national interest. Many exporters are saying that this will increase their costs and reduce competition in foreign markets. This can also have a direct impact on small traders. Economic experts believe that this decision is not just a blow to business but also to trust. The Indian government is currently looking at this pressure as a matter of national honor.

Sometimes silence is the biggest statement in international politics. The Modi government has not given any strong reaction to the tariff issue. Experts believe that this silence is a well-thought-out strategy, which is making the US pressure ineffective.

Trump angry over Russian oil

US President Trump is said to be very angry at India's purchase of oil from Russia. He believes that India should support Washington's policy. But Delhi has made it clear that energy security will not be sacrificed under any pressure.

US pushes India on farming

The German newspaper gave the example that Trump had announced a deal with Vietnam without any concrete agreement. India does not want to be a part of such an incomplete deal. This is the reason why Delhi is taking every step very cautiously.

Tug of war over agriculture

America wants India to open its agricultural market to American companies. But the Modi government knows that this decision can have a huge impact on the livelihood of farmers. This is the reason why India is not backing down despite the pressure.

A new rift in the relationship

The gap between India's independent policy and America's pressure politics is widening. The conflict between the two countries over tariffs and energy is no longer just a trade issue but has also become a part of the global balance of power.

India’s silence signals strength

Experts believe that this tension may deepen in the coming months. India's stand is clear that it will not compromise on its sovereignty at any cost. This silence is going to give a big message to the world in the future.
