US Tariff on India: Catalyst for Economic Self-Reliance and Multipolar Trade

The US has increased tariffs on Indian goods to 50%, citing India's import of Russian oil. This move makes Indian exports more expensive in the American market and affects key sectors like textiles, steel, gems, and machinery.

It also strengthens calls for changes in the global trade system, with BRICS nations supporting fairer rules.
