Trump Threatens 'Great Depression' Over Indian Tariffs
Published on 8.10.25
US President Trump has warned that a court halt of tariffs on India would cause a "Great Depression", while India considers the tariffs "unilateral, punitive measures" that hurt global trade norms. The US decision is seen as an attempt to secure an unfair trade deal, with some speculating it's economic blackmail. The MEA team will present evidence of shared democratic values and converging strategic and economic interests between the two countries, highlighting the bipartisan nature of their relationship. Trump has also provided support for India's concerns over cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, including the extradition of a key suspect in the 26/11 attack.
