Background: A History of Uneasy Trade Relations
India and the U.S. have had periods of cooperation and confrontation in trade. While strategic alliances have blossomed, particularly in defense and tech, trade has remained a sticking point. Disputes over intellectual property rights, agriculture subsidies, and e-commerce regulations have fueled friction.
What Sparked the Latest Trade Tensions?
The latest flare-up stems from India reinstating tariffs on 28 U.S. products including almonds, apples, and chemicals in retaliation to the U.S. withdrawal of GSP (Generalized System of Preferences) benefits. The U.S., under a "fair trade" agenda, has pushed for tariff parity and market access.

India vs. U.S.: Trade Tensions |
Tariffs are taxes imposed on imports. For India and the U.S., they mean billions in lost trade. U.S. exports like almonds (worth $600M annually) and Harley-Davidson motorcycles are hit hard. India’s pharmaceutical and textile exports face uncertainty in the U.S. market.
Key Sectors Affected by Tariff Hikes {#key-sectors}
-
Agriculture: Almonds, apples, and lentils from the U.S. face heavy tariffs.
-
Automobiles: Harley-Davidson bikes became a key political and symbolic issue.
-
Pharmaceuticals: India's exports face scrutiny over compliance and pricing.
-
Textiles: Competitive Indian products now face increased hurdles in U.S. markets.
India's Response and Countermeasures {#india-response}
India’s approach has been measured. It aims to protect local industries while avoiding a full-scale trade war. New trade deals with Russia, EU, and Middle East nations aim to diversify export markets. India has also filed complaints with the WTO.

The U.S. Perspective and Trade Protectionism {#us-perspective}
The U.S. argues for "reciprocal trade" and "fair access." Protectionist policies under successive administrations have targeted trade imbalances with countries like China and India. The current administration maintains that India’s high tariffs harm American farmers and manufacturers.
