India Implements Trade Retaliation against U.S., Raising Tariffs in Response to Steel & Aluminum Duties

India has formally notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) of its intention to increase tariffs on goods originating from the United States, acting as a direct response to increased duties imposed by the Trump administration on steel and aluminum imports. This marks India’s first retaliatory trade action against the U.S. during President Trump’s second term. While both nations are committed to finalizing a broader trade agreement in upcoming months, this step demonstrates India’s resolve to defend its economic interests.
