Foreign Minister S. Jayashankar, while stating about the trade talks between India and the US, said that trade talks between the two countries are going on. But the main thing is that we have fixed some boundary lines in it, especially for small traders and farmers. Jaishankar said that business talks are still going on, but it cannot be said that the conversation has been closed in any way. People talk among themselves. It is not that there is a ‘Kutti’.
Committed for safety of farmers-six producers
Speaking at the Economic Times World Leaders Forum 2025, the Foreign Minister said that as far as the boundary lines are concerned, they are mainly committed to protect the interests of their farmers and small producers. We are completely adamant on this. This is not anything on which we can compromise.
Trump’s method is unusual – Jaishankar
The Foreign Minister further said that we have to understand that President Trump’s way of treating his country with the world is absolutely unusual. For example, this is also a new way to impose fees on business.
He said that the use of tariffs on non-commercial issues is even more unusual. These things are mostly said publicly, often the first announcement is also made publicly, which is also extremely unusual. The whole world is facing this situation.
50 percent tariff on India
Explain that President Trump has announced to impose 50 percent tariff on India. Trump wants India to stop importing oil from Russia, but India has clearly stated that it will continue to do so for its interests. The US is already imposing 25 percent tariff on India, the remaining 25 percent tariff is going to be implemented from August 27.
