"Bullying by Buffoon-in-Chief," AIMIM Chief slams Trump for imposing additional 25% tariffs on India
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday slammed US President Donald Trump for imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, calling it "bullying by the buffoon-in-chief." Owaisi also said the tariff, which raises the total to 50 per cent, will harm Indian exporters, small businesses and jobs.

This isn't diplomacy, it's bullying by the buffoon-in-chief who clearly doesn't understand how global trade works." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery — asadowaisi (@asadowaisi) He also questioned why Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders remain silent on the issue. Owaisi accused the government of giving up India's strategic independence to benefit wealthy friends. Live Events "These tariffs will hurt Indian exporters, MSMEs, and manufacturers. It'll disrupt supply chains, deter FDI, and hit jobs hard. But why will @narendramodicare? Where are those BJP muscle-flexers now? Last time I'd asked if Modi ji would show his 56-inch chest when Trump imposed 56% tariffs. Trump stopped at 50%. Maybe he's scared of our non-biological PM? Was selling out our strategic autonomy worth filling your friends' billionaire coffers?" the post reads. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray also criticised the Union Government for its unclear foreign policy. He pointed out that while India was told to boycott China, the government still allowed official visits and trade. In a post on X, Aaditya Thackeray wrote, "They told us Hindus in Bangladesh are under attack, and the@BCCI invited them for a bilateral cricket tournament in India. They sent our MPs around the world to tell the world that pakistan was behind the Pahalgham attack, and now the @BCCIis playing cricket with them. Last year, BCCI officials partied with pak cricketers." — AUThackeray (@AUThackeray) He also questioned why India continues cricket ties with Pakistan despite tensions, and said Indian students and businesses are suffering from trade problems with no clear response from the government. "They told us to boycott China and Chinese goods. They told us that they are showing laal ankh to China. Now the official visit! Did Galwan happen? Did they not challenge our territory? They told us MAGA+ MIGA= MEGA. But from Tareef to Tarif now at 50%. Indian students hit badly, industries and MSMEs facing trouble, but no minister from the Union Government speaking on it. No clarity on the Trade deal. What is our Foreign Policy?" the post reads. On August 6, US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on imports from India. According to the order issued by the White House, Trump cited matters of national security and foreign policy concerns, as well as other relevant trade laws, for the increase, claiming that India's imports of Russian oil, directly or indirectly, pose an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to the United States. After the order, the total tariff on Indian goods will be 50 per cent. While the initial duty becomes effective on August 7, the additional levy will come into effect after 21 days and will be imposed on all Indian goods imported into the US, except for goods already in transit or those meeting specific exemptions.

Trump's tariff threat won't weaken India's unity or economy, says MP Awadhesh Prasad
Following United States President Donald Trump's imposition of an additional 25% tariff on India over its purchase of Russian oil, Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad on Thursday criticised Trump, stating that his threat would not impact India's economy or unity and urged the government to table a resolution condemning the statement in Parliament. Speaking to ANI, Prasad said, "This is not right. His threat will not weaken our country's economy, development, or the thread of unity in diversity. Trump has some major misunderstandings somewhere. I want the government to present a proposal of warning and condemnation against him in the House and warn him that our flag has pride and recognition in the world, so he should not threaten us in any way."
