The 50% rate, half of which is punishment for #India buying #oil from #Russia, is expected to damage many Indian exporters that collectively employ millions of people. The move could rupture America’s expanding economic relationship with India, where ⅔ of the largest #US #corporations have #offshore operations. The tariff also undermines the stability of billions of dollars of foreign investment in India’s #StockMarket, the world’s 4th largest.

The extraordinary levy puts #India at a disadvantage in the new trading order #Trump set in motion when he announced #tariffs on dozens of countries in April.
Trump has declared a truce w/ #China, which ran a >$1 trillion global surplus last year & is considered the principal antagonist in his #trade war. In that context, the 50% tariff on India risks undermining a key strategy used more by US importers in recent years to shift production to India to lessen their dependency on Chinese factories.

#India fears a planned Chinese mega #dam in #Tibet will reduce water flows on a major river by up to 85% during the dry season, according to Reuters sources, prompting Delhi to fast-track plans for its own dam to mitigate the effects. FRANCE 24 speaks to Rana Mitter, ST Lee Chair in US-Asia Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School. He says the main driver behind China's push to build mega-dams is power-hungry technologies like AI.
