<h1>Opposition leader urges doubling US tariffs up to 100% over alleged 11% cotton duty waiver to protect farmers</h1> A major opposition party leader urged the Central government to impose higher tariffs on US imports, alleging an 11% duty waiver on cotton from the US that could harm domestic farmers. The leader argued for reciprocal or punitive tariff increases-proposing doubling current US tariffs up to 100%-and claimed broad public support for such measures. The statement framed the issue as protecting local agriculture and responding to perceived unfair foreign tariffs. There was no immediate response from the Central government.
