Trump's tariffs on India alarm US manufacturers: Former Governor Chris Sununu
Former Republican Governor Chris Sununu didn't hold back when asked about President Donald Trump's latest tariff escalation targeting India.'The tariffs on India are scaring US manufacturers the most,' he said bluntly on CNBC. 'I'm not a manufacturer, but that's the one I hear is the biggest concern because they're our ally. This should be the easy one. India is going to be the world player, right?'Former Republican Governor @ChrisSununu hits out at Trump over his tariff threats on warns: 'It's not India that's worried, it's American manufacturers who are panicking over these tariffs.''India is set to become the next global powerhouse, alienating them is a (@NarendraVictory) August 7, 2025advertisementSununu's warning comes as the White House prepares to impose an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods, effective 21 days from August 7. The hike will raise duties on key exports such as textiles, footwear, gems, and jewellery to as high as 50 per cent — a steep rate rarely seen in US trade policy. The Trump administration points to India's continued imports of Russian oil as justification. India strongly condemned the move, calling it 'unfair, unjustified, and unreasonable,' with its Ministry of External Affairs accusing the US of 'targeting India's oil imports from Russia' despite New Delhi's clear tariffs threaten nearly 55 per cent of Indian exports to the US, India's largest export market. Bilateral trade hit a record USD 118.2 billion in emphasised the strategic risk, saying, 'If you're building global alliances, the last thing you do is push away your strongest partner and that's India.' He noted India's manufacturing might as the world's sixth-largest and pointed out, 'Many countries are already outsourcing to India right now.'While Washington hints at possible measures against China, another Russian oil importer, Beijing remains untouched — at least for now. Sununu's message is clear: 'Pick your fights wisely, especially with friends.'- EndsTune InMust Watch

New Income Tax Bill With 285 Amendments To Be Tabled On Lok Sabha Monday, Says Rijiju
Last Updated: Rijiju's statement comes amid concerns raised in some media circles after the Income Tax Bill was withdrawn from the Lok Sabha Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday said that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will introduce the new Income Tax Bill, as cleared by a Select Committee, in the Lok Sabha on Monday. Rijiju's statement came in the wake of apprehensions voiced in a section of the media on the withdrawal of the Income Tax Bill from the Lok Sabha on Friday. 'It is being presumed that there will be an absolutely new bill, ignoring the earlier bill for which a lot of work was done, and all the work done and time spent will go down," Rijiju said. The minister made it clear that the apprehensions were ill founded as the new bill to be introduced will incorporate all the changes which have been suggested by the Select Committee and which have been accepted by the government. Rijiju said it was a normal parliamentary procedure when the amendments to a bill already introduced in the Lok Sabha are too many. The Select Committee of the Lok Sabha, chaired by BJP member Baijayant Panda, made 285 suggestions to the Income Tax Bill, which were accepted by the government. Rijiju said the need for a new bill arose as it would have been a tedious process to introduce each of the amendments and seek approval of the House separately. 'It is a normal convention that when a Select Committee submits a report and there are a number of amendments which are suggested and accepted by the government, the earlier bill is withdrawn and a new bill with all the amendments as accepted is introduced, so that it becomes easier for the Parliament to consider and pass the bill," Rijiju said. The minister said there should be no apprehension that the new Income Tax Bill, which is going to be introduced on Monday, will be different. 'It will be the same bill incorporating all the amendments accepted by the government," Rijiju said. Stating that all the hard work done in the last six months will not go waste, the minister said, 'On the contrary, the hard work done by each one and the suggestions will get reflected in the new Income Tax Bill, which the finance minister will introduce in the Lok Sabha on Monday. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
