America ke President Donald Trump ne ek naye executive order par sign karke India ke upar 25% ka aur tariff thok diya hai. White House ne Wednesday ko yeh information di. Is naye action ke baad ab Indian products par lagne wala total tariff 50% tak pahuch gaya hai, kyunki July me bhi Trump ne 25% tariff impose kiya tha.
Yeh decision Donald Trump ne tab liya jab unhone aarop lagaya ki India abhi bhi Russia se tel kharid raha hai, jo Ukraine war ke dauraan ek controversial issue bana hua hai.
Trump ka aarop: India kar raha hai Russia ki madad
Donald Trump ka kehna hai ki India ne Russia ke saath tel ka business continue karke Ukraine ke khilaaf uski jang me indirectly support diya hai. Trump ne pehle bhi kai baar ye baat openly boli hai ki Biden administration is mamle me soft hai, jabki wo khud is issue par kadam uthane ko tayar hain.
Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki agar wo phir se President bante hain to Russia ke khilaf khade hone wale deshon ko unka full support milega, aur jo desh Russia ka saath denge, unko nuksaan uthana padega.
India ka jawab: Unjustified aur unreasonable hai Trump ka decision
India ne Monday ko Trump ke aaropon ka jawab dete hue kaha ki America aur uske saathi desh unnecessarily India ko target kar rahe hain. Bharat ne yaad dilaya ki wahi America pehle khud encourage karta tha ki developing nations Russia se oil kharidein taaki global oil market stable rahe.
India ke Foreign Ministry ne kaha ki, “Russia se tel kharidna ek commercial decision hai jo Bharat ki economic aur energy needs ke basis par hota hai. Hum kisi bhi global mandate ka violation nahi kar rahe.”
Kya hai iska economic asar?
Is naye tariff ke baad Indian exporters, specially textile, pharmaceutical, steel aur automobile sectors par seedha asar pad sakta hai. US already Bharat ka ek major trade partner hai aur 2024 me dono deshon ka trade turnover $128 billion ke upar tha.
Experts ka maanna hai ki agar yeh tariff long-term ke liye impose kiya gaya, to Indian exporters ko naye markets dhoondhne padenge ya US market me apni competitiveness ko reduce karna padega.
Global geopolitics par kya asar hoga?
Donald Trump ke is action ka global geopolitics par bhi asar pad sakta hai. Yeh clearly ek message hai ki agar aap America ke strategic enemies ka saath denge, to aapko uska economic price chukana padega.
Analysts kehte hain ki Trump ka yeh move US election ke liye bhi strategic hai, jahan unka focus strong foreign policy aur nationalist trade policy dikhana hai.
