<h1>US President Imposes 26% Reciprocal Tariff on India Amid Warnings of Consumer Price Increases and Economic Strain</h1> The US President imposed a 26% reciprocal tariff on India, part of tariffs on approximately 60 countries. Indian-American lawmakers criticized the move as 'reckless and self-destructive,' arguing these tariffs will increase prices for American consumers on everyday goods and potentially trigger a recession. Critics warned the tariffs could make Indian exports less competitive, strain the US-India economic partnership, and cost American households between $2,500-$15,000 annually in additional expenses. They urged leaders from both nations to engage in dialogue to address these challenges while preserving collaboration that has driven prosperity between the countries.
