'Trump Put Tremendous Public Pressure': White House Says India Tariffs Aim To End Russia War
Last Updated: The White House has said Donald Trump has doubled tariffs on India to 50% to put secondary pressure on Russia over the Ukraine war. US President Donald Trump has imposed steep tariffs on India as part of efforts to apply indirect pressure on Russia to end the Ukraine conflict, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday. Her statement comes days after Donald Trump doubled India's tariff to 50 per cent, as he announced an additional 25 per cent levy on the previously announced 25 per cent. 'The President has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close. He's taken actions, as you've seen, sanctions on India and other actions as well," Leavitt said, responding to a question on how long Trump was willing to wait and operate in good faith for Putin. 'He has made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end, and he has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised that we should wait another month before any meeting takes place," she said. 'The President wants to move and he wants to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible," she added. During her briefing, Leavitt also echoed Trump in claiming that the US President ended the military conflict between India and Pakistan. 'Russia and all countries around the world actually respect the United States again. And the President is using the might of American strength to demand that respect from our allies, our friends, our adversaries all around the world," she said. 'And we've seen that not just lead to progress with Russia and Ukraine, but also we've seen it in the closing of seven global conflicts around the world as well." 'We've seen it with the release of hostages in Gaza. We've seen it with the end of the conflict between India and Pakistan, which could have resulted in a nuclear war if we had not had a President who believed in the strength and the leverage that comes with the job of being the President of the United States of America," the White House Press Secretary said. In response to another question, Leavitt said that Trump used trade 'in a very powerful way as leverage" to bring the India-Pakistan conflict to an end. Since May 10, when Donald Trump announced on social media that India and Pakistan had agreed to a 'full and immediate" ceasefire after a 'long night" of talks mediated by Washington, he has repeated his claim over 40 times, and has repeatedly claimed that he 'helped settle" the tensions between India and Pakistan. India has been consistently maintaining that the understanding on cessation of hostilities with Pakistan was reached following direct talks between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs) of the two militaries. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said in the Parliament that no leader of any country asked India to stop 'Operation Sindoor'.

Dual-Rate GST Reform Could Improve Compliance, Boost Collections: S&P
As per the Centre's proposal, 99% of goods taxed at 12% would move to the 5% slab, while 90% of items in the 28% slab would shift to 18% GST Meet: The proposed two-tier Goods and Services Tax (GST) structure could lower the effective tax rate while boosting fiscal revenues over the long term, said YeeFarn Phua, Director at S&P Global Ratings, on Tuesday. His remarks come ahead of a key meeting between the Centre and states on August 21-22 to discuss the Centre's GST reform plan. The proposal aims to simplify the current four-slab system—5%, 12%, 18% and 28%—into just two rates of 5% and 18%, along with a special 40% rate on select items. The government has been pushing for reforms in the GST regime to improve compliance, reduce disputes and make the indirect tax system more efficient. GST, which was rolled out in July 2017, is one of the largest sources of tax revenue for both the Centre and states, but multiple slabs and frequent classification disputes have often complicated implementation. Phua noted that the present multi-slab GST regime is complex, making accounting and implementation cumbersome. A streamlined two-rate system, he said, could ease compliance and reduce disputes. 'While the effective rate may be marginally lower, simpler implementation and improved compliance could support fiscal revenues in the longer run," Phua said at a webinar. He added that the move is unlikely to hurt overall collections and may even spur consumption in the short term. As per the Centre's proposal, 99% of goods currently taxed at 12% would move to the 5% slab, while 90% of items in the 28% slab would shift to 18%. The rejig is also expected to reduce classification disputes, litigation and duty inversion issues. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
