‘No formal talks on F-35 jets yet': India clarifies after Trump tariff announcement
The Indian government on Friday clarified that there have been no formal discussions yet on the potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to India, despite a reference in the India-US joint statement earlier this year. In a written response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for External Affairs Kirti Vardhan Singh said: 'The US will undertake a review of its policy on releasing fifth-generation fighters (such as the F-35) and undersea systems to India. No formal discussions have been held as yet on this issue.' This statement comes in the backdrop of PM Narendra Modi's February visit to US, during which the two sides elevated defence and strategic cooperation, but without finalising key hardware acquisitions like the F-35. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) was also asked whether any proposal had been made by the US regarding the F-35, and about the role of American diplomats in reducing tensions between India and Pakistan in the aftermath of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Singh noted that diplomatic conversations were held with various countries, including the US, between April 22 and May 10. 'All our interlocutors were given a common message that India's approach was focused, measured and non-escalatory,' Singh said. He added that on May 9, India had conveyed its position clearly to US Vice President J D Vance. 'With specific reference to the United States, it was conveyed to Vice President J D Vance on May 9 that India would appropriately respond if Pakistan launched a major attack.' Singh clarified that the decision to cease military action was taken bilaterally between India and Pakistan. 'The discussion to cease military action took place directly between India and Pakistan through the existing channels of communication between the two-armed forces, and it was initiated at Pakistan's request.' Responding to a question on third-party mediation, Singh reiterated New Delhi's long-standing policy: 'As regards any proposal for third-party mediation, our longstanding position remains that any outstanding issue with Pakistan will be discussed only bilaterally. This has been made clear to all nations, including by the Prime Minister to the US President.' He emphasised that the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership is underpinned by mutual trust and respect for sovereignty: 'The India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership is anchored in mutual trust, shared interests, goodwill and robust engagement between our citizens. The partnership has also benefited from growing strategic convergence and cooperation.' Singh also reaffirmed that India remains committed to strategic autonomy despite deepening ties with Washington. 'The Government of India closely evaluates all its external partnerships, including those in the defence and strategic domains, through the prism of India's national interest and commitment to strategic autonomy.'

Leather, textile, shrimp exports to be hit hard by 25% US tariff: Experts
Domestic export sectors such as leather, footwear, textiles and shrimp will be hit hard by the imposition of the 25 per cent tariff by the US, industry experts say. "Quick estimates suggest that India's goods exports in FY 2026 may come down by 30 per cent from $ 86.5 billion in FY 2025 to $60.6 billion in FY 2026," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava said. The duty, announced this week, will come into force from August 7 (9.30 am IST). These will be over and above the exiting standard import duty in the US. The 25 per cent tariff will replace the existing 10 per cent baseline tariff. The modified tariff is one per cent less than the 26 per cent levy announced by President Donald Trump on April 2. A White House executive order mentions that tariffs may be reduced once countries make a deal with the US. The executive order also clarifies that goods in transit until October 5, 12:01 am eastern daylight time (EDT), or 09:30 am IST, will be subject to a 10 per cent tariff, provided that such goods have entered into transit before August 7 12:01 am EDT. The sectors, which would bear the brunt of 25 per cent duty include textiles/ clothing (10.3 billion), gems and jewellery (12 billion), shrimp ($ 2.24 billion), leather and footwear ($ 1.18 billion), chemicals (2.34 billion), and electrical and mechanical machinery (about $ 9 billion). According to think tank GTRI, the duty on all Indian-origin goods could severely hit the country's exports to America. Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) Director General Ajay Sahai said that the order provides relaxation for goods in transit and those loaded on ship for final sailing to the US by August 7. Goods cleared for consumption in the US by October 5 will also not be subject to reciprocal tariffs, thus providing some relief to exporters of goods already shipped or likely to be shipped this week, he said. In 2024-25, the bilateral trade between India and the US stood at $ 131.8 billion ($ 86.5 billion exports and $ 45.3 billion imports). Sudhir Sekhri, Chairman, AEPC (Apparel Export Promotion Council), said: "We request immediate government intervention to offset this huge setback. "Exporters have their back against the wall and will have to sell below cost to keep their factories running and avoid mass layoffs." Indian shrimp exporters face an unprecedented new challenge in the US market, which contributes close to 48 per cent of their exports, Crisil Ratings Senior Director Rahul Guha said. Exporters are hoping that early finalisation of the India-US bilateral trade agreement will help in dealing with the tariff challenges. The negotiations between India and the US are still going on for an interim trade deal, though there will be no compromise on the red lines with regard to duty concessions on agriculture items, dairy, and genetically modified (GM) products, sources said. The two countries are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement (BTA). They are aiming to conclude the first phase of the pact by fall (October-November) this year.

Trump's tariff hit: India among dozens to be impacted after new deadline - 10 key takeaways for the world from the fresh White House order
In another move aimed at trade enforcement, the US has unveiled a comprehensive revision of global tariff rates, targeting several countries and territories along with the European Union. The move, formalised via an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, marks a shift from negotiation-driven tariffs to a more systemic, penalty-oriented approach. The revised rates — ranging from 10 per cent to over 41 per cent — will take effect from August 7. Here are the 10 key takeaways from this significant policy shift: 1. New tariffs take effect August 7 The tariffs will be implemented immediately from August 7, with no grace period for compliance. This gives little to no leeway for global businesses and importers to adapt their contracts or reroute supply chains. The urgency of implementation underlines Washington's intent to enforce trade discipline without further negotiation. 2. Trump cites national security and trade imbalance as key triggers In his executive order, President Trump said the revised tariff regime was necessary to protect US national security, correct chronic trade imbalances, and counteract trade with adversarial or sanctioned states. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 3-Bedroom Container Houses for Seniors in South Africa LocalPlan Search Now Undo He also cited the need to reward 'trusted economic partners' and penalise 'non-cooperative' ones. The order reflects a belief that the post-Cold War global trade system no longer serves America's strategic interests. 3. Tariff rates rejig: Range now from 10% to 41% The order sets a new baseline for US trade tariffs, assigning differentiated rates across countries — from as low as 10 per cent to as high as 41 per cent. This replaces prior rate structures used primarily as leverage in trade negotiations. The new system codifies tariff levels as fixed measures, tied to country-specific assessments of economic alignment, security posture, and trade practices. 4. The steepest tariffs A select group of countries faces the harshest penalties. Syria (41%), Laos (40%), Myanmar (40%), and Switzerland (39%) top the list. While political instability and alignment with US rivals are cited for some, others like Switzerland are penalised for financial opacity or trade circumvention. The 35–39 per cent tier includes Iraq, Serbia, Algeria, and Bosnia and Herzegovina — reflecting Washington's view of high-risk or non-compliant trade partners. 5. India placed in the middle range India has been imposed upon a 25 per cent tariff, making it among the high-tariffed nations, though not in the highest band. The rate was decided with US claiming unease over India's continued trade with Russia and long-standing trade imbalances. The move also marks a setback for ongoing US-India trade negotiations. The government, meanwhile, has reiterated that it will act in its national interest. The Ministry of Commerce said it is assessing the impact of the new tariffs and penalties, while also emphasising that talks with the US for a fair and reciprocal trade agreement are ongoing. Five rounds of negotiations have taken place, with a sixth round expected later this month. India has maintained a firm stance on key issues such as agriculture and dairy, where it has resisted US demands for greater market access. 6. 15% and 10% tiers cover bulk of countries The most common rate under the order is 15 per cent, applied to over 50 countries, including Japan, Israel, South Korea, most of Africa, and many Pacific nations. Brazil, the UK, and the Falkland Islands are among the few that face only a 10 per cent tariff — a signal of either minimal trade conflict or deeper strategic ties with Washington. 7. Europe faces split treatment under nuanced formula The European Union is not spared — but its treatment is more complex. For EU goods that already attract US tariffs above 15 per cent, the new rate is 0 per cent (no additional levy). For other goods, a new effective rate of 15 per cent minus the existing US duty will apply. This selective formula avoids blanket punishment, while still applying pressure in key sectors. 8. Unlisted nations also face 10% default duty Even countries not explicitly named in the 95-territory list will not be spared. The order includes a default tariff of 10 per cent for all other jurisdictions. This ensures no loopholes remain in the revised system and underscores Washington's attempt to universalise its enforcement model. It also suggests further expansions or tightening could follow in future rounds. 9. Many deals still in limbo Even as the August 7 deadline looms, many countries are yet to finalise trade agreements with the US. The Trump administration has struck partial or provisional deals with a handful of partners — including the EU, UK, Japan, South Korea, and Pakistan — but most lack clear terms or timelines. India, too, remains without a formal agreement, despite ongoing talks and rising strategic importance. Meanwhile, China and Mexico have received temporary extensions to continue negotiations. For dozens of others, particularly smaller economies, Washington has made little outreach, citing limited bandwidth. With the clock ticking, many nations now face steep tariffs — and deep uncertainty. 10. Global supply chains likely to be reshaped With such widespread changes, industries from pharma to electronics and steel to textiles could see cost pressures rise sharply. Trade partners will be forced to reassess export strategies, diversify markets, or engage in countermeasures. Analysts say the move could spark a new phase of tariff wars, while also opening up opportunities for domestic producers in the US.
