<h1>Political Party Blames 25% US Tariffs and Penalties on Poor Foreign Policy, Calls for Better Diplomacy</h1> A political party criticized the central government for the imposition of a 25 percent tariff and penalties by the United States on Indian goods, attributing the economic impact to a foreign policy focused on publicity rather than substantive diplomacy. The party highlighted that India faces harsher tariffs than other countries and noted the depreciation of the national currency as evidence of economic vulnerability. The government responded by stating it is reviewing the situation, consulting stakeholders, and engaging with relevant parties to determine appropriate measures to protect national interests. The tariffs followed a US announcement targeting Indian imports and penalties related to India's procurement of Russian crude oil and military equipment. The party condemned recent diplomatic events as superficial and argued that the current foreign policy approach has harmed the country's exports, economy, and international reputation.
