Can India retaliate against Trump's 50% tariffs?
Published: 9/3/2025

India is facing a dilemma on how to respond to Trump's 50% tariffs, with potential significant impacts on the country's GDP and exports to the US. While India has retaliated against the US in the past, experts believe escalation may not be in India's best interest given its dependency on the US for trade. Instead, India is pursuing strategic alliances with countries like China, Japan, and Russia to navigate the trade impasse. The repercussions of not carefully handling the situation could extend beyond just tariffs, possibly affecting areas like services, digital trade, and visas.
