Govt will safeguard farmers' interests in trade talks with US: Chouhan

The government will protect the interest of farmers in trade negotiations with the US, Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Friday. "We have said clearly the country's interest is top priority. Farmers' interest will be protected," Chouhan told reporters after inaugurating the Meghalaya Pineapple Festival. The agriculture and dairy sector will be protected. "We keep in mind the country's interest while taking any decisions," he noted. US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced the imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming from India starting August 1, plus an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment.

US imposes 25% tariff with no exemptions, threatens $25 bn in exports: GTRI

The USA's decision to impose a blanket 25 per cent tariff on all Indian-origin goods effective August 7, without any exemptions, could severely hit the country's exports to America, think tank GTRI said on Friday. According to an analysis of the White House's executive order by the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), the 25 per cent tariff will now be applicable to sectors like pharmaceuticals and electronics, which were earlier exempted from import duties by the US. India will face tariffs of 25 per cent on its exports to the US as President Donald Trump issued an executive order listing the various duties that Washington will impose on exports from countries around the world. In the executive order titled Further Modifying The Reciprocal Tariff Rates', Trump announced tariff rates for nearly 70 nations. "This blanket tariff, approved by President Trump, is one of the toughest trade actions the US has taken against a key trading partner in recent years," GTRI Founder Ajay ...
