'If India doesn’t matter to them ...': Shashi Tharoor calls for 50% tariff on US; asks why stop at 17%

IndiaTimes Thursday, 7 August 2025 ()
Speaking about the potential impact of 50 per cent US tariffs, Tharoor remarked, "It will have an impact because we have trade of about $90 billion. If things get costly by 50 per cent, then people will also think before purchasing them. If our competitors, Vietnam, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, will sell products at a lower cost... it will have an impact.​​​​"

Israel And U.S REVEAL Shocking ‘Gaza Exodus’ Plan | Eyes Ethiopia, Libya, Indonesia | Report [Video]

Israel And U.S REVEAL Shocking ‘Gaza Exodus’ Plan | Eyes Ethiopia, Libya, Indonesia | Report

In a shocking revelation, Israel has reportedly requested the United States' assistance to push forward a “relocation” plan for Gaza’s civilian population, according to Axios. Mossad chief David Barnea visited Washington and allegedly asked U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to persuade countries like Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia to absorb “hundreds of thousands” of Gazans. The controversial plan appears to align with Tel Aviv’s long-standing siege and military campaign against the coastal enclave, which intensified drastically since October 2023. The Israeli regime’s ongoing war, supported by unprecedented U.S. military and political aid, has drawn accusations of genocide and population cleansing. Meanwhile, despite Israeli claims of military victories, Hamas continues to resist fiercely with deep-rooted support from the people. The latest report underscores an alarming strategy for population displacement — one that is likely to ignite intense international outrage if confirmed.

Indian garment exporters face Trump’s 50% tariff shock| Oneindia Ground Report

Indian garment exporters are facing a major tariff shock as the Trump administration imposes a steep 50 percent duty on Indian exports. The move directly impacts garment exporters, shoe manufacturers, and leather industries that heavily rely on the US market. With Indian garment exporters already working on razor-thin margins, this tariff threatens millions of jobs and billions in trade revenues. Competitors like Vietnam and Bangladesh could benefit, while Indian garment exporters brace for losses. The Modi government is expected to step in with relief measures as Indian garment exporters explore new markets and diversification strategies.
