New Delhi. Ever since US President Donald Trump announced to put a reciperook tariff and put 26 percent tariff on India, all the opposition parties including Congress kept raising questions that why PM Narendra Modi is not saying anything on this issue? Many opposition leaders gave the example of China. At the same time, Congress MP and Leader of Lok Sabha Leader Opposition Rahul Gandhi, while targeting PM Modi at the Congress session in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, asked where the 56 -inch chest has gone and where are the Prime Minister hidden? Now the way Donald Trump has increased the tariff on the tariff on China, it is clear that if the Modi government had retaliated and increased the tariff on America, then like China, India would have increased the trump tariff. Listen to what Rahul Gandhi said in Ahmedabad on the tariff issue.
Where did the 56 -inch chest go?
The President of America imposes tariffs, Modi does not even do it.
Economic storm is about to come, crores of people will be harmed – they are sitting hidden.

It is clear that it has been good for India to not do two hands with America on the issue of tariffs. If PM Narendra Modi had retaliated on the US due to the screams being imposed on the tariff issue by the opposition, then mathematics could have turned upside down and like China, India would have to bear great brunt. Although the reality is that even though the opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, may be shocking on the issue of tariffs, but the Modi government, understanding the opportunity, opened the way for talks with America. PM Modi sent Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal to America and interacted there and to resolve the issue of tariff, India and the US set their representatives for talks. US Finance Secretary Scott Besant has also said that India is at the forefront of the countries talking on the tariff issue.
How India is trying to resolve the issue of tariff, it is two days ago, Foreign Minister S.K. The conversation between Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also understood. In the conversation of Jaishankar and Rubio, it was agreed that there should be a quick trade agreement between India and the US. A team from the US Department of Commerce of Commerce also came to India to negotiate this trade agreement. It is believed that India and America will have a trade agreement by the end of this year. Currently, Trump has announced a discount in tariff for 90 days. It may be that there is talk on tariff between India and America in this deadline.
