US Indian Ambassador Vinay Mohan Quatra held talks with Republican Senator Lindsay Graham on Friday. This is the first important conversation with the US senator from India following the announcement of US President Donald Trump’s tariff. Lindsay Graham is considered near President Trump. It is said that Quatra shared India’s vision of India’s energy security and the increase of energy trade from America during discussions with Graham. It is also important to know that Lindsay Graham strongly supported Trump’s tariff on India. In fact, on August 6, Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose an additional 25 percent duty on imported goods from India as the oil purchases of Russia continue. With this, the fee in the US on Indian products has now risen to 50 percent. These steps are expected to affect areas such as textile, sea products and leather exports. In response to this development, India said these steps are ‘unfair and indiscriminate’. The Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it was very unfortunate that the US had decided to impose additional fees on India. India will also take all necessary steps to protect its national interests. Trump announced a 25 percent fee on India last week. He signed the order that imposed additional fees a few hours before the implementation of this fee. After this order, the total fee on Indian goods will be 50 percent, except for some franchise items. The order said: “Fee imposed by the price … In addition to any other duty, fees, taxes, repair and levy, such imports will be applied.” The initial fee will be in effect from 7 August, while the additional fee will apply to 21 days. Trump warned on August 5 that he would announce a heavy service on India within 24 hours to buy oil and gas from Russia. After the new fee, the products of India and Brazil in the US will cost the highest fee of 50 percent. In such a situation, the competitive countries of India will be in a better position in the US market as their fee is low.
