Trump Tariffs and Trade Relations
Following a recent U.S. appeals court ruling deeming most of President Trump's tariffs illegal, the administration is continuing negotiations with trading partners.
Why This Matters
Trade relations directly affect economies and can influence public sentiment regarding national economic policy, making it highly relevant.
Public Sentiment Summary
Public sentiment regarding Trump's tariffs is largely negative, reflecting strong discontent towards his administration's approach to trade relations with India. Commenters express feelings of humiliation and disrespect, emphasizing a desire for India to assert its sovereignty against perceived American bullying and hypocrisy. While some comments show a patriotic stance and pride in India's resilience, there is widespread skepticism about the effectiveness and consequences of tariffs, particularly their economic impact on consumers and trade dynamics.

India will never bow down, no matter how great the loss may be.
Trump’s tariffs are slowing economic growth, raising prices, undermining American manufacturing, and attracting widespread public opposition.
We are not Europe that kneels down to America so easily. We are INDIA!!
