Chandigarh: US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a 25 percent tariff on Indian imports starting August 1, drawing criticism from Punjab Congress chief and Ludhiana MP Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, who took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his past remarks calling Trump a friend.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the development, Warring posted on X, formerly Twitter, \u201cDushman na kare, dost ne wo kaam kiya hai. Modi’s ‘friend’ Trump imposed 25% tax and penalty on India, put him in the dock for buying oil and weapons from Russia, and Modi ji just kept cheering by saying ‘Donald Trump is my friend’.”<\/p>\n
He further said, \u201cThe country is suffering this pretense of friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s tariff move comes amid concerns in Washington over India’s continuing defence and energy ties with Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
