<h1>Reciprocal tariffs threaten multilateral trade rules; India urged to adopt a firm, coordinated parliamentary and diplomatic response.</h1> The article challenges proposed US reciprocal tariffs as inconsistent with negotiated multilateral trade rules and the WTO framework, urging India to adopt a firm, coordinated diplomatic and parliamentary response rather than conciliatory rhetoric. It alleges that executive conduct-emphasising personal praise over substantive defence-and the handling of deportations have weakened assertions of sovereignty, and calls for bipartisan parliamentary scrutiny and collective resolve to protect trade interests and citizens.
