India Breaks Silence On Trump’s Tariff Threat Amid Strategic Talks With Philippines On Trade

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together. The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington. #IndiaUSRelations #TrumpTariffThreat #MEAStatement #IndiaPhilippines #SpaceCooperation #TradeTalks #ModiMarcosMeeting #IndianExports #IndoPacific #MEAResponse #DonaldTrumpNews #IndiaTradeStrategy #TariffNews #USIndiaTensions #PhilippinesIndiaTies #ITAGAReview #IndianSpaceProgram #ForeignPolicyIndia #TrumpIndia #EconomicDiplomacy
