Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for prioritizing praise over addressing tariff issues amid US reciprocal tariff threats. Ramesh highlighted Trump’s defiance of the WTO framework and raised concerns about the deportation of illegal Indian immigrants from the US. The remarks come amidst growing tensions between India and the US over trade policies. Ramesh urged PM Modi to prioritize discussions on tariffs and trade relations with the US to safeguard India’s economic interests. The Congress leader’s comments underscore the need for diplomatic efforts to resolve trade disputes and protect Indian businesses from potential adverse effects. The escalating trade tensions between the two countries have raised concerns about the impact on the global economy. Ramesh’s criticism reflects the opposition’s stance on the government’s handling of international trade negotiations. The issue is likely to be a key point of contention in the political discourse leading up to the upcoming elections. PM Modi’s response to the US threats and his approach to trade diplomacy will be closely scrutinized by both domestic and international stakeholders.
