Trade unions, farm outfits demand parliamentary approval of trade treaties
A joint statement by ten Central Trade Unions (CTUs) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday (August 4, 2025) has demanded a parliamentary review of the Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) signed recently with the United Kingdom. The organisations asked the Union government to reject United States President Donald Trump's 'tariff threats' and assert India's sovereign right to trade with all nations, including Russia. The statement said the India-U.K. CETA must be reviewed and altered immediately, with no ratification in Parliament. 'All negotiations for a U.S.-India trade deal must be halted to prevent further corporate exploitation. No more secret trade agreements — all future deals must undergo full parliamentary scrutiny and public consultation,' the joint statement added. The organisations said East India Company colonised India through trade and today, CETA and U.S. trade deals are the new instruments of corporate imperialism. 'On August 13, farmers and workers will rise in defence of sovereignty and freedom, sending a clear message: We will not let history repeat! Quit India, again,' the statement added. Economic coercion by U.S. Terming the U.S. import tariffs on India as a blatant act of economic coercion, the trade unions and farmers' outfits said the new duties are aimed at dictating India including its trade relations with Russia. 'These aggressive measures expose the hypocrisy of U.S. trade policies, which demand open markets for American corporations while weaponising tariffs to bully sovereign nations,' they said. Alleging that the Centre has surrendered to these threats, the SKM and CTUs said it was further evident in the recently signed CETA, which according to them is a deal that sacrifices the interests of India's farmers, workers, and economic independence at the altar of foreign corporate profits. Compromising India's strategic autonomy 'Instead of firmly rejecting this intimidation, the Central government has responded with silence, signalling its willingness to compromise India's strategic autonomy in favour of U.S.A. This capitulation paves the way for an even more exploitative India-U.S. trade deal, which would grant American agribusiness corporations like Cargill unrestricted access to India's dairy sector, agriculture, resulting in collapsing prices and destroying the farming community along with endangering food security of the nation. It would also trigger de-industrialisation in India and skyrocketing unemployment,' the statement said.

Days after announcing 25% tariff on India, Trump threatens to substantially raise tariff on India, says Russian oil purchases will...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: US President Donald Trump on Monday threatened to substantially raise tariffs on India for purchasing oil from Russia. In a Truth Social post, Trump, however, did not elaborate on what kind of tariffs those would be. 'India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine,' Trump wrote in his social media post. 'Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tariff paid by India to the USA,' he added. Earlier, Stephen Miller, one of Trump's most influential advisors, said that the US President clearly believes India should stop buying Russian oil. 'What he (Trump) said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing oil from Russia,' Miller said on Sunday Morning Futures. He, however, said that Trump's relationship with Prime Minister Narendra Modi is 'tremendous'. Last week, the US President said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on goods imported from India, along with a penalty for buying Russian oil. Meanwhile, government sources have clarified there is no pause on the oil imports from Russia. According to sources, 'India's energy purchases are driven by national interests and market forces. We do not have any reports of Indian oil firms halting Russian imports'. Trump has threatened 100 per cent tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow reaches a major peace deal with Ukraine. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said last week that 'You are aware of our broad approach to energy sourcing requirements, that we look at what is available in the market and the prevailing global situation. We are not aware of any specifics'. India sources its oil purchases based on global market offerings to meet its energy. 'Our ties with any country stand on their merit and should not be seen from the prism of a third country. As far as India-Russia relations are concerned, we have a steady and time-tested partnership,' said the MEA spokesperson.
