U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on certain Indian exports has triggered a wave of backlash in India, with political groups and trade associations calling for a boycott of American products. The move has fuelled nationalist sentiment, with campaigns urging consumers to opt for locally made goods instead.
Analysts warn that the escalating trade tensions could strain diplomatic relations between Washington and New Delhi, potentially impacting bilateral trade worth billions of dollars. Indian officials have hinted at retaliatory measures if the dispute is not resolved through negotiations.
