After the arrival of Donald Trump, many kinds of speculations are being made. Now the news floating in the international market is that America or rather the Trump administration can impose a tariff of 10 percent on India’s exports. This means that along with China, India will also be the target of America. If this happens then a new kind of war may start between the two countries. This means that there will be a trade war between the two countries. Indian-origin Suhas Subramaniam, who was recently elected MP in the US elections, has said that he is against imposing tariffs on India because it will lead to a trade war between the two countries. This statement of Subramaniam has come at a time when the new Trump administration can impose high tariffs on Indian exports.
Subramaniam said in an interview that he is not supporting imposing tariffs on India. I think that would be really bad. This will start a trade war. I don’t think this is good for any country. Before his election as US President, Donald Trump had taken a dig at India’s tariff structure and talked about imposing reciprocal taxes on countries like China and India. With Trump taking charge as US President, higher tariffs are likely to be imposed on Indian exports.
Many companies are doing good work in US
Subramaniam said that there are many businesses that do really well in India and many Indian companies are expanding in America. So the more our countries work together economically, the stronger we will be. As he prepares to be sworn in as a member of the House of Representatives, who has played a key role in reshaping the foreign policy of the United States, Subramaniam said he wants to be someone who promotes democracy around the world. He said that for example, India is one of the largest democracies and the US-India relationship is very important for both the countries.
Interested in changes to the immigration system
38-year-old Subramaniam is the sixth Indian-American elected to the US House of Representatives. He was declared elected from Virginia’s 10th Congressional District and is the first Indian-American to be elected from the East Coast. He also advocated radical changes in the American immigration system. Subramaniam said that I am hearing a lot about immigration, especially people with H-1B visas trying to get citizenship and green cards. He said that we need a radical change in the immigration system in the United States. We need to focus on legal immigration. There’s a lot of talk about undocumented immigrants and I certainly support securing our border, but we need to do more than that.
Will protest against job cuts
Subramaniam said he would also oppose any move by the incoming Trump administration to cut large-scale federal jobs and wanted to be a champion of the federal workforce. He said he wants to make sure that as they look at the proposed government changes, it does not mean firing federal employees from jobs or canceling federal contracts. He said he looks forward to being a champion for the federal workforce in Virginia. He said he would oppose any efforts (by the incoming administration) to cut federal jobs.
