Donald Trump India Tariff: According to the New York Times report, Trump imposed a 50% tax on Indian goods because Modi made him offered him nominating for the Nobel Peace Prize.
India-Meerica Tariff War: Since Operation Sindoor, US President Donald Trump has been claiming that he had stopped the Indo-Pakistan war. Also, they are imposing 50% tax on Indian goods. According to a New York Times report, the reason behind this is that Prime Minister Modi rejected Trump’s request for Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been constantly saying that he had stopped the war between India and Pakistan. India has denied this, but Trump is adamant on its claim.
Trump, who described PM Narendra Modi as his friend and India as a close associate of America, has suddenly changed his stand and is constantly criticizing India. Earlier it was reported that Trump wanted to mediate between the two countries during tension with Pakistan, but India did not allow it, which angered Trump.
Now according to the new information, Donald Trump wants to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Therefore, they are claiming that they have stopped 7 wars including India-Pakistan. Earlier, Trump was nominated for Nobel by some leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Recently, Pakistan also proposed his name. But, during the G-7 conference, Trump called Modi in Canada and told that Pakistan is going to propose his name, and asked Modi to do the same. According to the New York Times, Modi did not listen to Trump and made him nominated for Nobel.
The report said that this is why Trump is angry at India and is taking steps like taxing. The case has given a new twist to Indo-US relations. It is being discussed whether this step of Trump is due to his personal likes and dislikes or there is a political reason behind it.
