U.S Tariffs: Trump Hugs Modi, But Hits India's PM Modi with BIG Tariff Warning
WASHINGTON — PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP GREETED INDIAN PRIME MINISTER NARENDRA MODI AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH A BEAR HUG ON THURSDAY AND CALLED HIM “A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE,” BUT NONETHELESS WARNED THAT INDIA WON’T BE SPARED FROM HIGHER TARIFFS HE’S BEGUN IMPOSING ON U.S. TRADE PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD.
During a joint press conference at the White House, President Donald Trump warmly welcomed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to him as "a great friend of mine." Despite this camaraderie, Trump emphasized that India would not be exempt from the heightened U.S. tariffs imposed globally.
He criticized India's high import duties, labeling them as "very unfair and strong," and reiterated his commitment to implementing reciprocal tariffs to ensure a level playing field for U.S. manufacturers.
This stance underscores ongoing trade tensions between the two nations, even as they explore avenues to strengthen their economic partnership.
In a harrowing visit to Gaza’s so-called “Valley of Death,” Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff walked the frontline near an aid distribution zone where nearly 900 civilians have reportedly been killed in recent IDF operations. Joined by international officials and aid workers, Witkoff witnessed first-hand the devastation wrought by shelling in proximity to humanitarian corridors.

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

President Donald Trump erupted at a reporter who challenged his second-term tariff moves, firing back, “I was fighting lunatics like you,” at a White House event. The clash came after Trump signed sweeping executive actions invoking a rarely used 1977 law to impose wide-ranging reciprocal tariffs, including 10%–41% across over 70 nations.
His rebuttal referenced the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining that in his first term, tariffs were sidelined while the U.S. tackled the global health crisis. Trump insisted that his administration had already collected "hundreds of billions" in tariffs from China, and blamed the press for underreporting the results. The executive actions are framed as protective moves for U.S. national security and economic strength.The moment highlights his combative stance on trade and media relations.
