India Rejects US 12.5% Tariff Proposal | Trade Dispute Escalates Between India & America N18G

India has strongly rejected the United States' proposal to impose an additional 12.5% tariff on imports from India over allegations related to forced labor. During a public hearing in Washington, New Delhi dismissed the claims as baseless and stated that the US has failed to provide credible evidence against India. The Ministry of Commerce emphasized that eliminating forced labor is a constitutional commitment and criticized the decision to group India with several other countries. The ongoing trade dispute could affect agricultural exports, including Basmati rice, while Indian industry body FICCI has also urged the US to resolve the matter through bilateral dialogue instead of unilateral trade measures. #India #USA #TradeWar #Tariff #IndiaUSRelations #BreakingNews #BusinessNews #Economy #BasmatiRice #TradeDispute #WorldNews #FICCI #USNews #IndiaNews #Geopolitics #News18Odia #OdiaNews #odishanews #oriyanews #breakingnews #weathernews Welcome to News18 Odia, your go-to destination for the latest news and updates from across India and beyond.
